Join Team Naturaleza’s Elisa Lopez and Wenatchee Naturalist Susan Ballinger as they prepare for the weekend’s BirdFest Birding the Americas trip. You will explore streamside habitats looking for neotropical migratory birds in the Icicle Valley.

Even land that’s been severely disturbed can provide a home for rare wildflowers if we give it enough care and attention. On this outing, join Susan Ballinger to view the Fuzzy-tongue Penstemon in the wild in early May. We will learn a little bit about the process of caring for a highly disturbed area, and how the pandemic led to the local discovery of this rare plant.

Run Wenatchee will be holding the Horse Lake Trail Runs this year (with COVID safety precautions in place) at CDLT's beautiful Horse Lake Reserve in the Wenatchee Foothills! The proceeds from the race go directly to the Land Trust for trail maintenance and development!

Join Susan Ballinger and Joe Veverka for a morning birding outing at Mountain Home Preserve as they prepare for the weekend’s BirdFest. This outing will explore open forest and shrubby thickets along a ridge overlooking Leavenworth and the Icicle River.   

Join Susan Ballinger and Joe Veverka for a morning birding outing at the new Cashmere Canyons Preserve as they prepare for the weekend’s BirdFest. From wide-open wildflower-filled hillsides to forested peaks and views of the Enchantments, this outing will explore many types of bird habitat on one of the newest trail systems in our area.

A variety of habitat types provide shelter for many bird species at Horse Lake. Join Susan Ballinger and Jane Zanol for this early-morning trip above the Wenatchee Valley during prime birding season.
