$20
A Youth and Family Nature Festival!
Yolo Basin Foundation is hosting California Duck Days, Northern California’s wetlands and wildlife festival, on Saturday, April 27th. This family-friendly event will take place at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Headquarters and will include live animals, wetland themed arts and crafts, environmental education activities, hourly tours of the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area, and much more!
Whether kids help build Wood Duck boxes to create nesting opportunities, dissect owl pellets to learn about owls, or borrow rubber boots to explore the invertebrate life living in wetland ponds, there will never be a dull moment at the festival for those curious about the natural world. The exhibitor area will host more than 20 local environmental organizations providing information about their missions and offering interactive, hands-on activities. Animal ambassadors will include baby ducklings, large raptors, and ambassador bats. Food vendors will be on site.
The event would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors, donors, and volunteers. California Duck Days is a collaborative effort between Yolo Basin Foundation, City of Davis, and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
The festival will take place on Saturday, April 27, 9 A.M. – 4 P.M. at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Headquarters at 45211 County Road 32B (Chiles Road), Davis, CA. Admission is $20.00 per vehicle. Dogs are not permitted at the festival. For more information, visit www.yolobasin.org/california-duck-days/.
