Thousands of school children have explored Kelly Wetland through our Learning Laguna program. Here is your chance to experience the magic of the place with your family. Laguna docents will be on hand at several learning stations around the wetland. Upon arrival each child will receive a learning “passport,” scavenger hunt, and a trail map. Follow the map for fun and dynamic hands-on learning. Complete the passport for a special reward at the end! Bring a picnic lunch so you can linger and enjoy this special day.

Delta Pond Rookery
with Laguna Docents
Saturday, May 1 ♦ Choose your time:
7:45 AM, 8:00 AM, 8:15 AM, 8:30 AM, 8:50 AM, 9:15 AM♦ $10 per person
This annual event is not to be missed! The trees between Delta Pond and the Laguna are host to a sizable rookery of great blue herons, double crested cormorants, plus great egrets with their wispy breeding plumage. Come watch the adults endeavoring to keep up with demanding chicks who are trying to out-compete nest-mates and prepare for first flight. The sights and sounds of all this activity are indeed awe-inspiring. The 3 mile round-trip walk is flat but with some uneven footing. Be prepared to stay for about 2.5 hours. Bring plenty of drinking water and a sun hat. Details will be emailed upon registration. This event is a fund-raiser for the Learning Laguna bus scholarship fund.
