Family Love at the Ponds--WildCare Family Adventures

Take a family stroll around Las Gallinas Ponds and learn about the family life of the waterfowl that overwinter in this area. We’ll talk about nesting habits, mating displays, baby bird foods, and what it takes to raise a bird family every year!  It is not all about birds. We’ll also look for River Otters who are often seeing swimming in the ponds.

Meet at Las Gallinas Ponds trailhead: Directions: From US 101 in Marin County, exit Lucas Valley Road/Smith Ranch Road. Drive east about 0.7 mile on Smith Ranch Road, then at the McInnis Park entrance, turn left to remain on Smith Ranch Road. Drive on Smith Ranch Road about 0.8 mile, to the signed trailhead at the end of the road.

All programs are led in both English and Spanish, and are free to the general public. Programs start at 10:00 am at the trail head. If you prefer to caravan to park locations, we’ll meet at 9:15 am at the Canal Alliance at 91 Larkspur Street in San Rafael.
