East Stanislaus RCD

Walk with a Restorationist at Caswell Memorial State Park
2026-06-27 09:30 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Caswell Memorial State Park, 000 S Austin Rd, Ripon, CA, 95366, United States
Spend time outside and take a closer look at Caswell State Park, one of the last remaining and most extensive examples of riparian woodland in the Central Valley.
This guided walk is led by ESRCD restoration staff and offers a chance to explore local habitat, learn how restoration and conservation work is approached, connect with others interested in this work, and ask questions along the way. We’ll walk through an oak forest along the Stanislaus River, observe native plants and wildlife, and talk through what we’re seeing in real time as we move through the landscape.
Along the way, we’ll identify plants, birds, and insects, and discuss how restoration and conservation practices support these systems.
