Search for Coho Salmon and Steelhead Trout in a Winter Wonderland

Sunday, February 7, 2010, 9:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.: Join Ranger Lou Sian to learn about winter’s natural wonders including the redwoods. Look for coho salmon and steelhead, mushroom displays and the season’s first wildflowers. Dress for cold, wet weather and wear boots, as trails may be muddy. Heavy and/or slanting (high winded) rain cancels the trip. Meet at Muir Woods National Monument Visitor Center, Mill Valley, CA 94941. Park entrances fees apply. For information and reservations, phone 415-388-2596. For more information go to: http://www.wildequity.org/events.

The Golden Gate National Parks contains more endangered species than any other National Park in continental North America. This is certainly cause for celebration, but also for concern. Take part in the 2010 GGNP Endangered Species Big Year and get to know these species while helping them recover. It is free. Signup for the Big Year at http://www.wildequity.org and go to the calendar to see the upcoming Big Year trips and activities.
