Mid-summer is a laid-back vacation in San Elijo. We may watch ducks taking a leisurely dip at the edge of the reeds, enjoy Bushtits playing follow-the-leader through the brush, or cheer on a bumble bee as he tries to find the hidden entrance to a white sage blossom. But will you see a Skimmer this time? The hunt is half the thrill. Ready for this summer’s wildlife adventure? The event is weather permitting as wildlife is unpredictable and there is no guarantee of what you will see. Nature Collective is a local conservation and science education nonprofit organization. They work to restore habitats, provide healthier waters, and increase wildlife diversity. They are dedicated to conserving the land and providing experiences for people to fall in love with nature.
