Spring Forward with BCC!
With the warming days ahead, wildlife will begin to awaken, and plants will be lush and in bloom! Enjoy the beauty of nature with us this season by joining classes, tours, or take a walk on almost 5 miles of trails here at the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve or nearby Harriett Wieder Regional Park.
Remember to stay on trail at all times as bird nesting season has started and snakes will start to warm up from their winter rest. Additionally, dogs are NOT allowed on trail as coyotes can be a threat while they tend to their pups in the spring, and domestic dog scents can disrupt native wildlife patterns.
