Want to learn more about San Diego's Backcountry? Then this group is for you. Whether it's the Coast to Crest Trail, Volcan Mountain or the Anza-Borrego Desert, there is always something new to see. This group has activities for people interested in learning more about plants and animals, the history of the region, or the natural landscapes that makes this our backcountry special. Join us for hikes, lectures, walks and other meetups.

Nature Education Series: Birding For Beginners
VMF's Volcan Mountain Nature Center, 22850 Volcan Road, Julian, CA, USIf you’ve ever wondered what that bright yellow bird is, who's singing that beautiful song, or what made those rows of little holes in a tree, then join Sharyl Massey, VMF's Conservation Chair Board Member, for an introductory presentation about birds and bird identification.
She will also cover a variety of ways to observe birds, including physical characteristics, behaviors and their habitats. We’ll also share some of the best birding apps to help you identify birds wherever you go.
After a one-hour presentation, you’ll get to try out your new skills by birding at some of Volcan Mountain Foundation’s most beautiful trails.
