Join our wildlife classroom.

Experiential programs with San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy inspire stewardship of our environment. Through guided nature walks, the Conservancy continues its work in fostering an appreciation of natural resources—within San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve and beyond it. We teach about the value of the reserve, our historic and continued impacts on the habitat, and the benefits returned in terms of natural aesthetics, water quality, and recreation.
 
Be surrounded with sightings of rare and migratory birds and the sounds of breezes blowing through wetland grasses and upland forests. Get ready for delightful encounters with hundreds of animals and colorful plants that thrive in the reserve.
