The Redwood Region Audubon Society and trip leader Janelle Chojnacki will present “Bikes, Birds and Brews” Tuesday, Sept. 5, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. This month’s outing will start and end at The Local Cider Bar in Arcata.

Everyone will meet across the street on the sidewalk in front of the North Coast Co-op and hop on their bikes to ride around Arcata’s V Street Loop looking for grassland songbirds and shorebirds and raptors hunting in the area. The ride will be smooth and slow. Everyone will be returning to The Local Cider Bar close to sunset, so bike lights are encouraged.

The Bureau of Land Management will conduct a free guided hike on the Salmon Pass Trail in Headwaters Forest Reserve Sept. 10 starting at 10 a.m.

Join BLM Docent Susan Halpin for a program titled “Signs and Secrets of the Redwood Forest.” This hike will be moderately strenuous.
