The latest adventure for our club was to the Bolsa Chica Wetlands. Cynthia found this winner and the kids had an amazing time. There was so much to see and experience! This was an easy trail with tons of bird activity and lots of new plants to observe. The kids had a lot to enter into their nature journals. Some things to find here include crabs, California Poppy, Bladderpod Bush, squirrels, Sandpipers, Terns, Herons, California Horn Snail and an unidentified snake!
