Manatees are curious, intelligent creatures that ever so gently swim around in coastal waters and canals. They can grow up to 13' long and weigh over a ton - and live 50 - 80 years. Yet they are endangered because of habitat loss and propeller injuries from speeding boats!

Most ducks shed their body feathers twice each year. Nearly all drakes (the males) lose their colorful plumage after mating, and for a few weeks resemble females! This hen-like appearance is called the eclipse plumage.

a common / integrated platform to bring together a
variety of nature / outdoors events, the parks and organizations

Participating in nature / outdoors events at our beautiful parks & trails is a refreshing way to spend a few hours or the better part of a day - invigorating our body, mind & spirit! But, it isn't easy to find these events, parks or others with similar interests to enjoy them with! That's what led to the creation of this unique community resource / portal for outdoors & nature.
Did
you know - there
are many interesting group events conducted
by our county Park Districts and a variety of other
groups / organizations? However, these events and great places have unintentionally remained a best kept secret! Why? Because it has been a challenge to find and search through several websites, scanning long lists (sometimes pdf files) of events - trying to simply find a park or an event that matched our availability and preferences! (e.g. a moderate hike of less than 5 miles next Saturday, or a park in the South Bay with waterfalls & wildflowers.) It was especially hard for most
of us with limited time to
find and enjoy these fun, interesting events. We certainly needed
a more convenient solution!
Given the high quality of the events and the hours of fun, fitness & friendship they provide, it is surprising that most events are free (though a few require pre-registration and modest fees.) Thus, with just a moderate amount of fitness and a bit of curiosity / sense of adventure, we can start enjoying our local & regional parks, open space preserves and wilderness areas. These outdoors group events are one of the greatest ways to get refreshed, de-stressed, and energized (while burning calories!) And it's more fun discovering / enjoying / appreciating the diverse flora & fauna in the company of old & new friends. From colorful seasonal wildflowers to towering old Redwoods - from the diminutive Newts to a herd of 700-1000 pound Tule Elk - from the common but interesting Mallard ducks to migratory and other rarer birdlife! Not to forget the great vistas & settings that reflect the changing beauty of the seasons - and the varying glow & colors of our nearest star and our celestial companion! Also check out: |
