The Friends of the Wilderness Park are planning to offer more educational events for those who would like to know more about the natural history of the CHWP.
Our first offering is a collaboration with the Pomona Valley Bird Alliance to bird this diversity hotspot (990 species of organisms on the Friends’ iNaturalist CHWP Biota project, 133 species on eBird). We will take a holistic approach, observing the birds as well as the natural history they are associated with on this 2-3 hour walk.
This is a great opportunity to learn about using eBird and iNaturalist to share your observations of birds and other wildlife. If you’re interested, please download the apps to your phone before you come to the Park, as cell phone reception in the Park is spotty at best.
Meet at the entrance gate to the park at 7:00 AM. Parking is free for 6 hours for Claremont residents in the south parking lot at Mills and Mount Baldy Road and $5.00 for nonresidents at the north and south lots. Bring water, sunscreen, sturdy shoes and binoculars. Limited to 15 participants. To participate, register here.
