Celebrate spring on the largest and most diverse of the California Channel Islands:

Four days and three nights: Monday, May 6 through Thursday, May 9

Celebrate spring on the largest and most diverse of the California Channel Islands. The island’s rich flora includes almost 50 endemics not found on the mainland, and participants will encounter most of them! Along with the island’s endemic foxes and scrub jays, explore pine forests, wooded canyons, coastal headlands, deserted beaches, and isolated coves. Participants will stay in the island’s Central Valley, at the University of California’s rustic field station, which offers dorm-style accommodations, hot showers, and a full kitchen. Our group will explore the island on foot and in 4WD vehicles. Limited to 11 participants, who must be in good physical condition.
