Naturalist hosts Elfin Forest walks
Walks hosted every third Saturday in Los Osos

Normandin will lead a tour of the plants and lichens growing next to the boardwalk, saying what their names are and a little bit about them. He’ll identify types of mushrooms as well. He’ll also talk the monikers of any birds, insects or little critters encountered. Only a heavy rain will cancel this walk; if it’s sprinkling, put on a poncho or bring an umbrella.
This walk is sponsored by Small Wilderness Area Preservation or SWAP.
