Arana Gulch: Guided Wildflower Exploration

Spring wildflowers abound at Arana Gulch! We will explore the 63-acre open space observing wildlife, exploring forests and fields, and walking around the adjacent Santa Cruz Harbor to look for marine and avian wildlife. The Museum will provide binoculars for each participant.

Nature Club takes young explorers (6th-8th Grade) into local habitats to learn about the amazing living world around us while making discoveries along the way. Programs are led by Museum staff, with kids dropped off at rotating locations, including local parks, open spaces, and of course, at the Museum! Exploration and activities help kids learn more about nature through observation and experience while developing a deeper connection to nature and making new friends.
