We hope you'll spend the weekend of January 23-25 with us as we fulfill our mission to increase public awareness, understanding, appreciation and conservation of the diverse wildlife and unique habitats of the northern Sacramento Valley. We believe you will find that we have provided a weekend full of fun, adventure and learning for all ages, with field trips throughout the North Valley, complimented by a series of workshops available to all.
We're happy to announce an expanded activities schedule in Tehama County, focused on a new satellite site at the Sacramento River Discovery Center in Red Bluff. In addition, our desire to have more activities for children is represented both with a Young Naturalists Activities Area and specific workshops that will inspire the future stewards of the natural world.

Red Bluff Events
New to the festival this year are several special events starting at Red Bluff's Sacramento River Discovery Center. Field trips originating at the Center will include "Exploring the Red Bluff Recreation Area," an expert-led birding tour, a hike in the Tehama Wildlife Area, and a tour of the Bureau of Land Management's Sacramento River Management Area. Expect to see many deer and foothill birds on these field trips. Participants in the "Native Plant Gardening" field trip/workshop, to be held in the Sacramento River Discovery Center's Discovery Garden, will learn how to attract birds and butterflies.
