Swallow Creek Ranch Conservation Day
Date: Saturday, March 7, 2026
Time: 9:00 am – 1:00 pm
Where: Swallow Creek Ranch, Cayucos
Join Morro Coast Audubon Society for a hands-on morning of stewardship at Swallow Creek Ranch. Together, we’ll build 50 Western Bluebird nest boxes, learn how habitat structures support working lands through Audubon Conservation Ranching, and explore the ecological importance of Central Coast rangelands.
Participants will work in small teams to assemble nest boxes that will be distributed across San Luis Obispo County to expand nesting habitat for cavity-nesting birds. The event also marks the launch of new nest cameras that will support ongoing education and monitoring through MCAS’s FEATHER high school environmental leadership program.
A short ranch walk and a community lunch featuring grass-fed beef from Avenales Ranch are included.
All skill levels are welcome.
Participation is limited to 25 people to ensure a safe and meaningful experience.
Participants under 18 must attend with a parent or legal guardian who remains on site for the duration of the event. Each attendee must complete their own registration form.
What to Bring
• Closed-toe shoes suitable for uneven terrain
• Layers and sun protection
• Water bottle
• Work gloves (extras available)
• A hammer, if you have one
