Experienced birders and novices alike are invited to join Return of the Natives (R.O.N.) at Upper Carr Lake for the Winter Bird Count! Last year, we identified 72 bird species.
Why count birds? The quantity and diversity of birds helps us to assess the success of our ongoing habitat restoration work. It’s a really fun way to learn more about local species and the restoration process! Bird count will be 7am-10am.
After 10am, volunteers are invited to help cleanup the natural waterways and area around Upper Carr Lake. R.O.N. events are a great way to learn more about where you live, meet new people, earn community service hours, and help protect our clean water supply.
Everyone is welcome! A great family activity that is FREE. Tools, water, and great snacks provided. Wear sturdy footwear and plenty of layers. Bring your community service forms to earn hours.
Directions: Upper Carr Lake is located on East Laurel Drive between Constitution and Sanborn Rd. in Salinas. Look for the R.O.N. community event signs! (Use 824 E. Laurel Dr., Salinas for Google Maps)
*Volunteer groups of 10 or more please RSVP.

Mission Statement
Bringing Nature Closer to People and People Closer to Nature Through Hands-on Participation in Restoring Habitats
Description
Return of the Natives is an environmental education program dedicated to involving students (Kindergarten through University) and local communities in habitat restoration.
The Return of the Natives Restoration Education Project (RON) is the education and outreach branch of The Watershed Institute at California State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB). Based at CSUMB, RON helps the university fulfill its mission by providing service opportunities for students and working closely with the Service Learning Institute.
RON's environmental goal is to protect the waters of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary through restoration of the waterways and the lands draining into the bay. RON's social goal is to bring people and nature together on our restoration and education projects in the watersheds of Monterey County from the Monterey Peninsula to North Monterey County and from Salinas to San Ardo.
