Volcan Mountain Foundation

Sunday, October 22nd learn to identify different oaks and acorns that live abundantly in

San Diego County.  You'll be guided by County Park staff as you collect acorns and do the "float test" to see which acorns will grow.  Afterward, you will plant the acorns in pots so you can take one home and watch it grow!  So bring your family for a fun morning on the Santa Ysabel Preserve learning about acorns!  This event is free.

Sunday, October 21st learn about the world's oldest hunting style and sport of kings from Master Falconer Cisco Clibourne. Experience the world's fastest animal, the Peregrine falcon, in action as he swoops to Cisco's lure from amazing speeds. Get up close and personal with Cisco's two Harris hawks, Julian and J.J., as they fly to your fist under his expert guidance. Experience this chance of a lifetime, one you won't soon forget! This event is free and for all ages.
