“I have learned that being an Oak Ambassador means more than just knowing about animals, oaks, rocks and other parts of nature. It means being responsible, respectful, and helpful to nature and teaching others to do the same.”
—- Boone, 5th grade Oak Ambassador

We love our supporters and wildlife! This Valentine’s Day, please enjoy (and share!) some of the adorable animal pics captured by our Wildlife Camera Project. What started as a Cal Poly senior project 15 years ago has expanded to 16 cameras at three properties—all supported by 34 volunteers.
❤️ ❤️ Which of these four punny valentines is your fave: the coyote, black bear, mountain lion, or desert cottontail? ❤️ ❤️

Workday in the Santa Margarita Gateway to Nature Garden was a success! We planted some yellow-eyed grass, turkey tangle fog fruit, and a new baby shrub oak. We also got to work with mulch mountain.
More mulching is on the docket for spring! Hit us up if you have some scouts or a service club that wants to pull some weeds and spread some mulch with us.🌱

Woo hoo! Spring programs are here—even though it’s still winter! This week, our Oak Ambassadors were super excited to help us kick off our 3rd grade hikes, “Oak Woodlands Through Time,” which explore the changes to our local environment over the past 300 years. They guided students in observing these changes through storytelling, mapping, and investigating introduced invertebrates!
