SUMMARY:Monarchs & Marine Mammals
DESCRIPTION:Each winter\, the California coast becomes a gathering place.Western monarch butterflies cluster in sheltered groves\, sea otters raft together in calm bays\, and elephant seals return to sandy beaches to raise their pups. \nOn this one-day trip\, we’ll visit three sites:• A western monarch overwintering grove• Morro Bay’s resident sea otters• San Simeon’s elephant seal colony \nWe’ll explore why these places matter—how western monarchs overwinter in coastal trees\, how sea otters sustain healthy kelp forests\, and how protected beaches have helped elephant seals return from near extinction. \nExpect easy walking\, frequent stops\, and plenty of time for observing wildlife and asking questions. Led by Teranga Wildlife naturalists. \nBring: binoculars\, camera\, layers\, lunch\, snacks\, waterIncludes: ~12 hours of guided naturalist interpretation + field kit with native milkweed seeds and resources. \nJoin us for a winter day on the coast\, and bring your sense of wonder. \nMonarchs & Marine MammalsJanuary 17\, 2026 • 7:30 AM–5:00 PMLas Posas Park & Ride departureCaravan-style field trip \n$60/adult\n$30/child age 8-12 \nTickets Here \nSafety & RespectWe’ll be observing wildlife from safe distances following state and federal viewing guidelines.
