Saturday, May 4th
2013 Spring Naturalist Outings at the BCCER
Flower Identification Hike (moderate, 9:00 am)
$5.00 Participant Fee
Join Robert Fisher for this hike, meant for the wildflower enthusiast of any skill level. Our goal is to learn a few new foothill plants, take photos, share any knowledge we have on the characteristics that separate our local species, and learn their common or Latin names. We will develop a sharper eye for plants, large and small, and a few of the details that separate them from each other. Bring your favorite identification book and a hand lens if you have one.
Visit the BCCER website for complete details or call our office at (530) 898-5010 to sign up. Space is limited.

Saturday, May 25th
2013 Spring Naturalist Outings at the BCCER
Moth Night (moderate, 6:30 pm)
Moths are generally more active at night and are therefore less well-known to us than their daytime counterparts the butterflies. Join Chico State entomologist, Dr. Don Miller, in an exciting evening of moth baiting, observing, identifying and collecting. Participants will assist with the set-up of moth-attracting lights in three different habitat types on the Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve. As the evening darkens and moths are lured to the lights, we will discuss diagnostic field marks of each and keep a list of species and numbers observed. Moth Night is part of a national effort to develop an annual moth survey throughout the country. Families with well-supervised children encouraged, not appropriate for children under 6.
Visit the BCCER website for complete details or call our office at (530) 898-5010 to sign up. Space is limited.
