We’re celebrating the spring migration with a birding-themed community open house from 2-4 p.m. on Saturday, May 3, at the Valley View Learning Center in Salida.

This FREE, family friendly event is open to everyone in the community!
Participants will also get a sneak peek of the newly restored Valley View Learning Center, located at 8465 County Road 140 (Airport Road), which is about two miles west of Salida. The former schoolhouse, built in 1903, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.
GARNA’s community and youth programs empower people with the skills, knowledge, and hands-on experience to connect with and care for the environment. We focus on building relationships – with ourselves, with each other, and with the land – through meaningful experiences and shared learning. By combining empowerment with connections, we help foster a deep sense of responsibility that goes beyond our programs, inspiring lifelong stewardship and active participation in protecting the ecosystems we all depend on.
Many GARNA programs require a Liability Release Form be filled out each calendar year.
