From cathedrals of old-growth redwood to coastal marshes, join veteran naturalists, university faculty and park rangers to learn about the Pacific Coast’s wild spaces and the creatures that inhabit them. Study the biology of salmon, crabs and other denizens of the Pacific Coast and take a look at some of the more elusive mammals that make their home in this region. With faculty researchers and leading biologists from Humboldt State University, get access to areas available only with permission and supervision by a docent. Four intensive full-day field trips, each focusing on a different habitat, take you to Redwood State Park, Humboldt Bay Wildlife Refuge, Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary and Redwood National Park.



Walking up to three miles, uneven terrain, rocky soil, sand dunes.



Program in association with Humboldt State University.



Arcata

In the heart of Redwood Country just 100 miles south of the Oregon border, Arcata is a quaint, coastal community tucked between the bay and ancient forests. The historic town plaza is only minutes from rugged beaches, elk, steelhead and salmon.
