Go Wild! in Francisco

Visitors are invited to join Our Communities to take a walk on the wild side. Experts from local, county, and state agencies and other organizations will be available to discuss most (nearly all!) things wild! Get an up-close look at local snakes, a barred owl, screech owl, red shoulder hawk, black vulture, and more with live exhibits!

We will explore the park through various activities that include scavenger hunts to identify wildflowers, trees, and other living organisms found in the park.
