Rancho del Oso Appreciation Day

Rancho del Oso Appreciation Day

Saturday, August 9, 10am through the afternoon

Rancho del Oso staff and the Waddell Creek Association invites you, nature lovers, art appreciators and history enthusiasts, to attend our very first Hulda Hoover McLean Appreciation Day at the RDO Nature and History Center.

We are thrilled to honor Hulda, who was the writer, artist, naturalist and civic leader whose former home has been the RDO Nature and History Center for 40 years. In the spirit of Hulda, we invite you to come celebrate art, nature and history in the Waddell Canyon.
 
Here is the itinerary for the day:

1pm –  Watercolor Workshop led by Erika Perloff
1pm – Interactive guided interpretive walk “Through Hulda’s Eyes,” led by Diane West-Bourke
3pm – Nature Journaling Workshop led by State Park Interpreter Leslie Reyes
