In honor of National Boy Scout Day, local Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts held a day of hikes, tours, restoration planting and trail maintenance Feb. 10 at Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary in Modjeska Canyon, Silverado.
Tucker Wildlife Sanctuary is owned and operated by CSUF’s College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. Renowned for its birding, the sanctuary offers three nature trails, a picnic area, an amphitheater and a Natural Science Center with interactive exhibits, live animals, native animal taxidermy and children’s activities.

The sanctuary will hold a guided bird walk led by artist and birder Julie Williams on Saturday, March 24, at 8:10 a.m. The walk is suitable for beginning and intermediate birders. Visitors will explore native habitats and learn to identify local birds. Suitable for ages 12 and older, the event costs $5 per person. Reservations are required and may be made by calling 714-649-2760.
