A community nature education event, Chasing Birds, Bears and Nature in Alaska, will be presented by docent and naturalist Nikki Dail at the Placerita Canyon Nature Center on Sunday, Nov. 9 at 2 p.m.

What began in 2023 with a trip to Utqiaġvik (Barrow) to see migratory birds in the Arctic turned into three unforgettable summers of exploration. From the remote tundra of Nome to the rugged beauty of Kodiak Island, each journey brought close encounters with bears, seabirds and Alaska’s stunning landscapes.
Placerita Canyon Nature Center is located at 19152 Placerita Canyon Rd., Newhall, CA 91321.
For More information call 661-259-7721 or enail info@placerita.org.
