Four Ways to Learn About Birds This Winter

Posted on by Cypress Hansen, Science Communications Manager
Birding in San Diego is like a party that lasts all year. But winter is when San Diegans celebrate our feathered friends with festivals, holidays, and opportunities to contribute to bird-centric science. Here are four ways to love and learn more about our region’s beautiful birds. (No birding experience necessary!) 

Holiday Celebration Potluck, December 5th!

Posted on by SD Myco
Howdy festive fungi folk!
Here’s the information for our
Holiday Celebration Potluck
December 5, 2022
6:30 – 8:30pm

We invite you to bring a delicious dish to share! It does not have to include mushrooms, but those are always a hit! You may also bring store bought if you prefer.

We will have a card to fill out in advance for the ingredients list. This is useful for those that may have allergies or dietary restrictions. ***If you are using wild/foraged mushrooms, please note that also!***

We ask that you bring your own reusable cup/bowl/plate and utensils, since we are environmental stewards. Let’s help promote and save the environment by using less plastic!

Please note that we do not have kitchen access, but there will be outlets for keeping food warm with crock pots.

Gobble gobble,
SDMYCO
