Wild time in the mountains

Why did the wildlife cross the road?

To get to the other habitat – or maybe just because the Santa Monica Mountains offer such an inviting playground for wilderness creatures of all sizes, shapes and species.

On Saturday, April 23, 2011 at 4 p.m. join fellow explorers at Franklin Canyon Park’s Sooky Goldman Nature Center for “Wildlife Crossroads,” an entertaining and informative guided two-hour ramble with a knowledgeable volunteer who will point out things like telltale paw-prints and other subtle signs of animal travelers passing by.

Franklin Canyon Park is located just south of Mulholland. Here you’ll find full program information and a detailed map. For a more comprehensive look at the wide variety of places and activities to be found across the Santa Monica Mountains, visit LAMountains.com, a service of the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, the state agency charged with protecting, preserving and expanding our open spaces for future generations to enjoy.
