This is a makeup event after April’s rain postponement — and all of our incredible partners, activities, and hands-on restoration work will be back!
Spend the morning with us restoring native habitat in the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve connecting with your community, and celebrating the spirit of Earth Month (a little later than planned). We’ll be pulling invasive species, making seedballs, enjoying interactive educational exhibits and doing some birdwatching with the SFV Audobon Society!
If you previously registered for our April event, we ask that you register again to ensure we’re able to accomodate everyone.

Join FoLAR and San Fernando Valley Audubon Society for an educational walk about the birds that call the Sepulveda Basin Wildlife Reserve their home, or their home only for the season. This walk will talk about what birds migrate to the area during the winter time and hopefully see some of them in flight! We will provide binoculars, but feel free to bring your own!
Join us for a morning of storytelling and creative expression as Alan Salazar, an esteemed Elder of the Fernandeño Tataviam Band of Mission Indians (Chumash, Tataviam, and Pipimaram lineages), shares traditional Chumash and Tataviam stories passed down through generations.
