Join CA State Parks and MendoParks as we try to find and photograph as many species of sea slugs as we can at the Laguna Point tidepools! Sea slugs are indicators of intertidal ecosystem health, and by searching for them we can learn a lot about what’s going on in the ocean. This program is part of the Sea Slug Search by the California Academy of Sciences.

All you need is the iNaturalist app on your phone or a camera and an old pair of tennis shoes or hiking boots. We recommend familiarizing yourself with iNaturalist before you come. If you haven't used it before, download the free iNaturalist app to your phone and create an account. Make a few observations around your yard or neighborhood to get a feel for the app. Here's a short video on how to make observations on iNaturalist.

Please RSVP for this free program by emailing director@mendoparks.org.

Laguna Point Tidepools, MacKerricher State Park

In celebration of Pride Month, join a welcoming guided experience at the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. This program includes a one-hour interpretive walk through the Gardens, followed by a relaxed gathering and ice cream social at the Vegetable Garden.

As we move along the Garden paths, we will explore the remarkable ways gender and sexual diversity appear throughout the plant and animal world. Nature has a far more expansive story to tell than many expect, and this walk invites curiosity, reflection, and discovery.

The program concludes with a sweet finish, featuring ice cream generously provided by Rhody’s Garden Cafe.

While enjoying dessert, guests will join a conversation and book signing with special guest Hunter Rook, founder of Rowdy Ferret Design. Hunter is the illustrator and lead author for the GENDER book Project. He lives in Caspar with his human family, 6 dogs, 40 sheep, and 2 goats.

A celebration of nature, identity, and community, this program offers space to learn, connect, and enjoy the Gardens in full bloom.
