This family-friendly event, led by Ecology Action, Bird School Project, and Latino Outdoors, invites you to bring your own bike and enjoy a guided ride through the beautiful wetlands. Don’t worry if you don’t have binoculars—we’ll have some available to borrow for bird watching along the way. After the ride, we’ll gather to enjoy delicious burritos and share our experiences. It’s a perfect way to celebrate the beauty of Watsonville’s wetlands and the rich diversity of our local community. Come celebrate Biketober!
