Our birding, nature, and heritage celebration offers 80 events, workshops, and guided excursions into the wildness of our globally outstanding natural areas: Redwood National and State Parks, the Smith River National Recreation Area, Castle Rock Wildlife Refuge, Tolowa Dunes State Park, and the Lake Earl Wildlife Area, and Lake Earl Coastal Lagoon. Our offerings will tempt everyone, from the most avid birder or botanist to the generalist nature lover or history buff.

Down to less than 500 in the early 1970s, the Aleutian Canada Goose is now numbering more than 60,000+, the Aleutian Canada Goose is an Endangered Species Act success story.

Discover the rugged beauty of California's most northwest corner, Crescent City and Del Norte County's wild redwood coast. Delight in this remote island of nature, which has a feeling of being suspended "outside of time" — for this is a place where rivers still run free, where wild salmon still spawn, and where endangered species recover, rather than disappear.

Enjoy sampling from our county birdlist of 414 species; our seventh annual festival birdlist reached 184 species.

And then discover how the complexity and diversity of species goes beyond birds. Explore why our Klamath-Siskiyou region is often called "the Galapagos of North America". Begin to experience the botanical variety that is almost unparalleled around the globe. Learn about the indigenous peoples of this region who still live on or near their original tribal lands.

Come, we'd love to share it with you.
