With the spring season in full force here in the mountains and our annual wildflowers giving us a riot of colors throughout our Artist's Palette venue, we have started our wildflower walks once again. On Saturdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. until 1 pm, we will have a wildflower station set up in our Falling Waters venue behind the information kiosk. Our naturalists will talk about the various species of annuals blooming, as well as the ecology of native California plants.

At the Oak Glen Preserve, there have been 110 bird species observed by birders since the beginning of 2020. All of these bird species have their own distinct characteristics and behavior, from the gregarious Acorn woodpeckers with clown-like faces, to the shy, quiet, black and white Ring-necked ducks who spend their winters in the preserve’s ponds.
