Rosemont Preserve Events

On Saturday, Nov. 18 from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. Birds of the Rosemont Preserve will be presented by Jodhan Fine. Fine will help guests learn about the birds that are seen and heard while on a walk.

Jodhan is an Occidental College student and a member of the Moore Laboratory of Zoology. He has a keen interest in birds and has published research papers on unusual bird sightings. Bring binoculars and consider downloading the free Merlin bird app in advance by accessing https://merlin.allaboutbirds.org/download/. Be sure to download Merlin’s “US: West Coast” bird information.

Registration required; please RSVP to rosemontfriends@gmail.com.

Then an “open gate” event is taking place at the Rosemont Preserve on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 19. This is a chance for residents to visit the Preserve and wander the trail at their own pace and enjoy the tranquil setting, the wildlife and the natural beauty. Photographers: bring your camera to capture the morning light and citizen scientists, bring your iNaturalist and Merlin apps to identify birds and add wildlife sightings!

The gate will be open from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., and Friends of the Rosemont Preserve Committee members will be available to answer questions and present this community resource.

The Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence. As street parking is limited, please park at Two Strike Park, 5107 Rosemont Ave. Please park at Two Strike Park rather than in front of the homes of neighbors. Those with mobility issues requiring a closer parking spot can contact the Friends of the Rosemont Preserve at rosemontfriends@gmail.com. Please wear sturdy shoes to walk the trail and bring water to drink.

These events are free to the public and suitable for all ages. Rain cancels. Sorry, no pets please.
