Backyard Bugs

Insects are the most diverse group of animals on Earth and make up 80% of all known species. There are more varieties of bugs than all other types of animals combined! Join us on a family-friendly trek around Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park to learn all about these amazing animals who have perfected the art of ecological specialization. Insects may have a reputation for being icky, but they’re essential pollinators needed to sustain life on our planet. Please wear closed-toe shoes and sun protection and bring snacks and water. Participants 16 and younger must be accompanied by a guardian. Advance registration required. Learn more and register for Backyard Bugs. The program is free and parking is $3 per vehicle.
