Father's Day Bolsa Chica Wetlands Walk + Lunch at VegiOasis in HB!


Details
Hello fellow nature aficionados!
Join us for a Father's Day nature walk and/or lunch at VegiOasis:
Option 1: 10am - 12:00pm/ Bolsa Chica nature walk
LOCATION: Bolsa Chica Conservancy Center (NORTH LOT)
3842 Warner Ave · Huntington Beach, CA (see map)
Come to experience a beautiful 1.5 to 2-hour trail walk around Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve in Huntington Beach next to Pacific Coast Highway. We'll take an easy path accessible for all members of the group.
Wetlands are one of the most productive ecosystems on the planet! They support large numbers of plants and animals, and are highly dynamic. With several plant communities, and its uses as a rest stop for migratory birds, nursery for marine life, and haven for rare and endangered species, the wetlands abound with a multitude of wildlife!
We'll meet at 10am in front of the grey Bolsa Chica Nature Conservancy portable building. Please feel free to introduce yourselves as you come as familiar friends and newcomers are very welcome!
You'll find free parking in the small lot in front of the gray interpretative nature center building. If the parking lot is full, there is pay-by-the hour parking ($3/hour) across the street by the fire station or you can chance it at the Jack-in-the-Box shopping center parking lot.
*We will wait until 10:15am, decide as a group which loop/path to take, and head off to hike via pedestrian bridge.
No dogs or pets are allowed at this ecological reserve due to wildlife conservation measures.
It's a relatively flat gravel trail and there is very little shade, so it's handy to come ready with:
1. Plenty of water
2. Sturdy, closed-toed shoes and long pants recommended. There are lots of darting lizards and we could encounter other native critters.
3. A hat
*Group lunch at VegiOasis around 12pm dependent upon walking group transition time:
