ABDSP Interpretive Activities

Display: Usefulness of Desert Plants - 11:00 a.m.
3 Hours
Stop by the visitor center and see the items made from desert plants past and present. Volunteer Naturalist Marge Hatcher will be available for questions about the garden plants around the visitor center and elsewhere in the desert. She will be featuring the products of the Prickly Pear in this program.

Talk: What Kind of Bird is That? Basic Birding in Borrego - 11:00 a.m.
45 minutes
Visitors to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park often ask about birds they’ve seen. There are over 300 bird species found in the park, but there are a few that visitors will almost always see. Join Volunteer Naturalist Thad McManus in the Discovery Lab to learn about the most commonly seen birds in the park, as well as where to find them. Novice birders can easily learn 15 different species, and more experienced birders will learn some fascinating new insights into the behavior of some species they already know.

Walk: Welcome to the Desert - 1:30 p.m.
Allow 45 minutes for this easy garden walk that introduces you to the plants and animals of the desert. Meet with a staff Interpreter/Naturalist at the Visitor Center entrance.
