Join Shasta Birding Society for a field trip led by Brooke Thompson of the Bureau of Land Management at the 426-acre  in southern Shasta County. The property is the site of a BLM restoration project to reclaim the area from agricultural use to riparian oak woodland in the Battle Creek watershed. Brooke will present the details of the history, progress and goals of BLM’s work at the site. We will meet at the entrance gate off of Jellys Ferry Road at 8:00 am, Saturday April 27, 2024, located approximately ¼ mile south of the intersection of Jellys Ferry Road and Coleman Fish Hatchery Road and pool to various locations of interest to learn about site. Short hikes are expected on level ground, there are no bathroom facilities at the site, but there are facilities at the nearby Battle Creek Wildlife Area and Coleman Fish Hatchery. Expect the program to last approximately 60 – 90 minutes with some free time after to bird.
