Calling all nature lovers and outdoor professionals, Camp Pollock’s gardens are open for you to enjoy! Join SVC staff and docents as you celebrate the beautiful world of insects and the plants they call home. This event will feature a brief photo slideshow of common Camp Pollock pollinators and then an in-field photo tutorial on how to get a great shot!

Learn tips and tricks for using professional cameras or even your cell phone. Guests are invited to roam and ramble as they search the garden for pollinators and snap photos to upload to Bumble Bee Watch and iNaturalist for identification. SVC is grateful to be working with Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation on planting native California plants that support pollinator habitat.

Bring a camera/phone, comfortable shoes and clothes for hiking (trails are less than one mile), water and snacks.
