The NHC is going camping!!
Join us in observing Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve's many species 🐍🌾

From 12:00pm on Saturday, April 7th, to 12:00pm Sunday, April 8th, we will be on a mission to find, identify, and log as many organisms as possible.

Participants are able to join us any time between these hours, HOWEVER, you must sign a liability waiver to do so! Also, note that the property is locked -- you must tell us you are coming so we can let you in.
If you would like to stay for the full event, we will be camping overnight at the field station.

SMER is an SDSU-owned property and is not open to the public. Don't miss this great opportunity to explore native plants and wildlife in a preserved ecosystem!

If you are interested, please email us at naturalhistorysdsu 'at' gmail 'dot' com and we can get the waiver & event details to you. We hope to hear from you!

Check out this beautiful T-shirt, a perfect gift in time for the holidays! The artwork (by Nathalie Aall) commemorates the Tandayapa Andean toad (Rhaebo olallai), one of the rarest amphibians in the world. Rediscovered after 40 years of "extinction" -- and occupying just 100 meters of threatened Ecuadorian streams -- this species needs your help. Proceeds will be given to The Biodiversity Group for eDNA work.

We need to identify critical habitat for this species and many more, and then help our partners in Ecuador to purchase land and hire locals to protect it.
