Birdwatching for Beginners in Beautiful West Sonoma County

No binoculars? No problem! We've got you covered with quality binoculars and a high-powered spotting scope to bring those birds up close! We want to help beginners get out and appreciate the bird world. Don't be shy if you've never birded before - that's what we're here for! (All experience levels are welcome though.) You'll meet us for a slow meander along Sonoma County's bucolic West County Regional Trail in Sebastopol. There, we'll look at, listen to, and identify a variety of songbirds, woodpeckers, raptors, and much more. Time allowing, we’ll walk 1 mile to a water treatment pond for a chance to see some duck species before birding our way back (a flat, paved 2-mile roundtrip). We’ll send you home with a paper checklist of the species we observed throughout our walk. And, if you're on eBird, we will share the day's checklist with you. We guarantee you'll leave with an increased appreciation of the bird life that surrounds us! If there are any specific birding skills you'd like to focus on improving (visual ID, birding by ear, etc.), let us know and we'll be happy to tailor the walk to your interests. If you don’t see a time that fits your schedule, or if you're a group larger than 6, contact us and we’ll try to accommodate you! PLEASE NOTE: There are no restrooms at this location.

Make friends at a farm animal sanctuary

Join us for a day at the sanctuary and meet a variety of rescued farmed animals. We'll share their stories of resilience and healing and also talk about the industries they come from. You'll love meeting our animal ambassadors and may be surprised at what you learn since we so rarely see the animals in our food system. The Experience will last approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Please be mindful that, as a sanctuary for rescued animals, our priority is the physical and emotional wellbeing of the animals who call Charlie's Acres home. Our animal residents are completely free and always have a choice whether or not they interact with visitors. They will reside at the sanctuary for the rest of their lives, where we'll have the honor of taking care of them. **Families with young kids are strongly encouraged to book a private group to better allow us to adjust the pacing and content of the tour.** We operate under current Sonoma County COVID-19 safety guidelines, and protocol is subject to change. Tours are available in French or Spanish by request. Note that we do not allow visitors to bring dogs onto the premises. The only exception is service dogs required to assist with a disability; in that case, please contact us to arrange a private tour. Don't see a time that works for you? Feel free to contact us to schedule an alternative time.

Create a sea glass pendant w/an artist

Arriving at my studio just 3 miles from highway 1 in Mendocino and I will give you a brief tour of the shop and describe the equipment we will be using and some safety guidelines. Guests will be able to choose a piece of sea glass from my large collection and we will get to work on making a sterling silver pendant. Guests may participate in whatever part they want to and can always just watch if they are not comfortable with any aspect of the process. The first step is making a bezel, then filing and soldering it closed. Then we reshape it around the seaglass and saw out a piece of sheet to solder it to. After we solder the bezel to the sheet we will saw out the edges and then file the edges and buff with the flex shaft. Then we will solder the jump ring to the pendant and then solder another ring that will be for sliding onto a chain or leather necklace. We will scrub the silver with a wire brush and soapy water to create a matte finish and set the sea glass into the setting using special tools. I will provide a cool suede or silk sliding necklace to put it on or they can purchase a chain if they prefer, or bring your own chain. All throughout the lesson I will be giving them information about what they are doing and why. I can teach up to two people at one time and will give a discount to second person of $150. Just let me know and we can settle up when you come.
