Join Bill at Camp Pollock, the Sacramento Valley Conservancy property on the American River just east of downtown Sacramento. Some of you will know this as the old Boy Scout Camp, which it was for many years. Bill will survey the property which is composed of wide grassy areas interspersed with huge old cottonwoods, oaks, a large native plant nursery, and a variety of shrubs. Bill will look for a Bald Eagle nest which may be visible from the property and will possibly still contain young. Restrooms are not available.

Meeting Location: Meet Bill at the Camp Pollock parking lot.  

Directions: Going north on I-5 from downtown Sacramento, take the Garden Hwy exit. Go east on Garden Hwy. Turn right on Northgate Blvd. Proceed for a short distance and turn right into Camp Pollock.
