Bring the family and join Regional San’s Bufferlands staff for the 25th anniversary of Walk on the Wildside, a celebration of International Migratory Bird Day.

Walk on the Wildside highlights local efforts to protect and restore Central Valley habitats. This family-oriented event includes hiking tours of local wetlands and forests, presentations, live animal shows by Wild Things Inc., live music, children’s hands-on activities, informational exhibits, and more!

Guided and self-guided tours are offered throughout the day. Explore a pristine valley oak riparian forest in search of migratory songbirds. Visit numerous wetland and riparian forest restoration projects. Take one of the Bufferlands guided tours and enjoy a unique opportunity to see a rare heron and egret rookery — one of only four in Sacramento County. This rookery contains more than 120 active nests of great blue herons, great egrets, and double-crested cormorants. Spotting scopes will be available for optimum viewing of these fascinating and beautiful birds.
