Join WorldBeat Cultural Center, the SoCal Bird Nerds, and San Diego Bird Alliance for a free guided community bird walk at Chollas Lake Park as part of Black Birders Week. Founded in 2020, Black Birders Week celebrates Black birders, naturalists, scientists, and outdoor enthusiasts while advocating for inclusion, safety, visibility, and environmental justice in outdoor spaces. This year’s theme, "Flyways & Freedom: Advocacy, Action, and the Future," explores the freedom of movement represented by migratory birds and asks us to imagine a world without barriers. Together, we’ll explore the birds, native habitat, and natural beauty of one of San Diego’s important neighborhood outdoor spaces while building connection, community, and belonging in the outdoors. This walk is an opportunity for local residents, families, youth, and nature lovers of all experience levels to connect with nature close to home and celebrate the importance of caring for shared community spaces. Saturday, May 30, 2026 • 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. Free community event — everyone is welcome. No birding experience needed.

At a glance: Padres games at Petco Park are a San Diego summer favorite. But prices for tickets, concessions, and everything else that goes into catching a game can run up the bill, especially for a family. KPBS went to a game at Petco Park to tally up the cost, and that total had reporter Jake Gotta looking for another — possibly cheaper — way to watch baseball. His search took him up the coast to Anaheim, where the Padres played against the Los Angeles Angels.

Encinitas Preservation Association Presents the Historical Bus Tour - Featuring the historic 1886 Bumann Ranch and 60+ Historical Points The Encinitas Preservation Association (EPA) will once again be hosting the historical bus tour on Saturday, August 8 from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. The tour includes over 50 historical points of interest and scheduled stops at OIivenhain Town Hall, San Dieguito Heritage Museum and a drive through the old Ecke Poinsettia Farm. The highlight of the tour will be a rare opportunity to tour the historic Bumann Ranch which was homesteaded in 1886. This ranch has been carefully preserved and represents rural life in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. This is an extraordinary opportunity to see a working ranch with many historic buildings. Three generations of the Bumann family have called this home for the past 125 years. The buildings and contents are totally original and unchanged. Of the many Encinitas homestead ranches that once dotted the back country, this is the only one to survive into the twenty first century. Each ticket supports the preservation of two of Encinitas’ most iconic historical buildings, the Boathouses. The EPA acquired the SS Moonlight and SS Encinitas in 2008 in order to maintain them and make sure they remain in place for future generations. Tickets are $60 at the iconic 1883 one room schoolhouse. They may be purchased through the Eventbrite page. The tour will depart from the Pacific View Arts Center parking lot at 10 a.m. and return at 1 p.m. The 1883 School House will be open for viewing following the tour. Parking will be available at Pacific View Arts Center. Encinitas Preservation Association on Facebook / Instagram

Dear Interested Community Members, We want to hear from you! The County of San Diego Planning & Development Services (PDS) invites you to attend the second Focus Group Meeting regarding the Tiered Winery Rural Residential (RR) Expansion project. This project is part of an ongoing update to the Tiered Winery Ordinance, following a 2024 Feasibility Analysis. Through this project, the County will be looking at how different types of wineries could operate in RR zones under clear and consistent criteria. The project will entail changes to zoning rules, new operating standards, and a review of potential environmental effects under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Additionally, the project will consider updates to certain Boutique Winery standards including noise buffers/setbacks for amplified live music and outdoor seating capacity. Meeting Discussion Topic: Sharing Public Feeback So Far and How it is Being Incorporated into Draft Zoning Ordinance Changes At this meeting, we will focus on how public feedback, as well as inter-departmental coordination feedback, has been incorporated into the drafted Tiered Winery Ordinance changes being proposed and gather further feedback. We are looking for participation from community members who are residents in RR zones, business associates, agritourism partners, and agricultural resource organizations. The goal of this meeting is to present updated draft changes to the Winery Ordinance that fosters a thriving agricultural economy while maintaining harmony with nearby residents and preserving open spaces. PDS will host this virtual meeting on Thursday, July 9, 2026, at 12 PM.
