California Nursery Historical Park has many old trees that are ideal for Owls and other Raptors to roost, nest and hunt from in search of food. Bring your flashlight and walk through the grounds at dusk, this is a good time to spot an owl in the trees or hunting for prey.
Meet at the Vallejo Adobe for an introduction to owls and then walk at the sun goes down you will look and listen for the raptors that hunt at night. Discover owl pellets and the bones of what the owls ate at the Vallejo Adobe. Other family members (adults and kids) are invited to register. Other night birds will also be seen in this forest in a park.
Tours are 1.5 hours long. Meet at Vallejo Adobe. Start of tours depending on dusk and time of year. Winter is early while Summer is late. We will confirm time when you book a tour.
Directions and Hike Information:
Directions: The entrance of California Nursery Historical Park is at the corner of Niles Blvd and Nursery Avenue in Fremont. If you are coming from the south, turn left on Nursery Avenue. If you are coming from the north, turn right on Nursery Avenue. Please, park in the large parking lot at the end Nursery Avenue.
We will meet in the large parking lot and start the walk with a short presentation in the Vallejo Adobe. (Please note: if you search on your GPS, it is best search for Nursery Avenue, Fremont rather “California Nursery Historical Park” since some GPS take you into a housing development when you use the park.)
Park Gates: The gate on the park closes at dusk. We will be there to make sure you get in. However, if you arrive late, the gate may be closed. Please call me at the emergency contact number below. The gate automatically opens as you leave the park.
Bring: Wear good walking shoes, appropriate clothing for the weather and bring a small flashlight. If you have one with a red filter or just red cellophane, it helps not to make it too bright. Red cellophane and rubber bands will be provided so you can bring a normal flashlight.
