Nest site habitat restoration projects take place the third Saturdays of the month 8:30-11:30 AM - after nesting season ends and before the birds return - now through February. Click on the link below to learn more and register (registration is required by the CA Department of Fish & Wildlife).

Reserve Watch was designed to increase the awareness of the many facets of the Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve with an emphasis on the importance of the Reserve’s rules and regulations. BCER has a rich history and huge ecological significance, and the regulations protect the wetlands so that we can all enjoy them. Our skilled volunteers help to convey this message to the surrounding community, while also being a resource for visitors looking to enhance their experience.
