Come join us for a birding walk through the wetlands and riparian woodlands of the Cosumnes River Preserve. This wildlife refuge is located south of Elk Grove - about 35 minutes south of Sacramento - and is home to hundreds of wildlife species. During winter, the Preserve is home to a large number of migratory species headlined by one of our largest birds - the Sandhill Crane. The Preserve covers greater than 50,000 acres of oak savanna, riparian forest, and wetland habitats and has the last remaining free-flowing river in the Central Valley.
What To Bring
- Bring your walking shoes and water bottle as we leisurely walk the boardwalks and trails for three hours at the CRP.
- Bring water and any snacks you wish.
- Bring layered clothing to adjust to temperatures as the early morning fog burns off.
- If you have binoculars, please bring them - we will have binoculars available for participants too.
- Bring your bird field guide (if you have one) - we will have several available for use.
