California Naturalist Eastern Sierra Immersion Course with Teranga Ranch Wildlife
About the Event
Explore California’s redwoods, rivers, and coastline through an immersive, place-based field experience designed for curious adults and older youth.
This six-day field course with Teranga Wildlife focuses on the ecological connections between land, water, and wildlife — with extended time in the field, guided observation, and opportunities to slow down and really read the landscape.
This is a meet-on-site field course (not a caravan-style road trip). Participants arrive independently and travel together during the program.

Organization Description: Teranga Ranch Wildlife is a wildlife education organization that educates Californians about local wildlife and teaches them how to coexist. We go to schools and home owners association meetings. We hold community meetings when there is a perceived wildlife issue, like coyotes. We bring humane hazing devices to pass out and we discuss humane alternatives to poison, traps and guns. We teach community classes about local wildlife, we present workshops and we host field trips. We provide opportunities for anyone to get outside and involve themselves with wildlife, nature and Science.
