SUMMARY:Wildlands & Waters\, Ecology at the Edge: Desert & Salton Sea Field Trip (Naturalist Opportunity)
DESCRIPTION:Feb. 7-11\, 2026 \nThis immersive\, field-based California Naturalist course is offered with an optional certification pathway. Join us as we explore life at the ecological edges of California’s desert and water systems. Based at the Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center\, we’ll study Colorado Desert ecology\, geology\, biodiversity\, and climate change through daily field experiences\, journaling\, interpretation practice\, and participatory science. \nFrom our desert basecamp\, we’ll take a full-day field excursion to the Salton Sea and Imperial Valley to witness one of California’s most complex and compelling landscapes: a terminal lake shaped by water policy\, agriculture\, wildlife migration\, and human creativity. Sunrise birding at Sonny Bono National Wildlife Refuge\, burrowing owl observations\, and time at Bombay Beach and Salvation Mountain will deepen our understanding of how natural and cultural systems intersect at the margins. \nThis course is part of Teranga Ranch Wildlife’s Wildlands & Waters series and fulfills the requirements for UC California Naturalist certification (with the addition of 3 online sessions). \nExpect early mornings\, long but rewarding field days\, shared meals\, thoughtful conversations\, and unforgettable learning. \nCourse Highlights\n\nBurrowing Owl Safari: Observe owls living along agricultural edges in the Imperial Valley\nSunrise birding at Sonny Bono National Wildlife Refuge on the Pacific Flyway\nSalton Sea exploration: Shoreline ecology\, hydrology\, dust\, and environmental change\nArt & ecology at Bombay Beach\, Salvation Mountain\, and East Jesus\nNaturalist skills: Nature journaling\, interpretation\, and observation practice\nParticipatory science: Contribute observations to iNaturalist and eBird\nDesert nights: Stargazing and nocturnal ecology (weather permitting)\nCommunity & connection: Shared meals\, capstone projects\, and reflection\nStay at a UC field station: Lodging and classroom time at the Anza-Borrego Desert Research Center\n\nParticipation Options\nThis program is offered with two participation options.\nAll participants take part in the same field experiences\, lodging\, meals\, and instruction.\nOption 1: California Naturalist Certification Track\nParticipants who choose certification will:\n\nReceive official UC California Naturalist certification\nComplete required coursework\, participatory science observations\, and a stewardship project\nPay the additional $160 UC California Naturalist certification fee (set by UC ANR)\n\nThis option is ideal for participants who want formal certification\, volunteer tracking through UC ANR\, and long-term engagement as a California Naturalist. \nOption 2: Field Experience–Only Track\nParticipants may also join the course without pursuing certification.\nField Experience–Only participants: \n\nParticipate fully in all field activities\, excursions\, lodging\, meals\, and instruction\nAre not required to complete certification paperwork\, online surveys\, or the UC stewardship project\nDo not pay the additional $160 UC certification fee\n\nThis option is ideal for participants who want a deep\, immersive learning experience but do not need formal certification. \nImportant Notes:\n\nBoth participation options share the same daily schedule and field experiences. The difference is limited to certification requirements and UC ANR administrative fees.\nThe UC California Naturalist certification fee ($160) applies only to participants pursuing certification and is paid separately from the course fee.\nThis is a 5 day field trip- Eventbrite doesn’t have an option to reflect this- we’re sorry about that!\nCalifornia Naturalist Certification ALSO involves 3 online sessions: February 4\, 17th and 19th from 7pm -8:30pm\n\n$650 with CalNat Certification\n$490 for Field Experience only \nCosts include food/lodging. \nTickets Here
