REGISTRATION will open on April 1st at 6am.
Hike with local bird biologist, naturalist and wildlife photographer, Frank Lospalluto, on the City of Ashland’s Imperatrice property east of Ashland in the Cascade Mountain Foothills. This beautiful 876-acre grassland is an excellent place to see raptors and songbirds like Western Bluebird, Western Meadowlark, and the uncommon Grasshopper Sparrow. The wildflower show is usually spectacular as well. This event is part of the greater City Nature Challenge in Southern Oregon (inaturalist.org/projects/city-nature-challenge-2018-southern-oregon).
