Field Trip: Villa Creek  

Date:         March 19, 2026  

Time:         10:00am to 12 Noon  

Leader(s): Sharon Iranpour  


Description: Join Sharon Iranpour for a 1-2 mile walk across Estero Bluffs onto a sandy beach and down to Villa Creek to look for and observe the western snowy plover, fellow shorebirds and waterfowl in the creek. Villa Creek is one of few local beaches where the snowy plover breeds. This plover is increasingly at risk and federally protected. We’ll check high and low, in and out of the water, and collaborate to share what we find. 


This field trip is not ADA accessible, restrooms are NOT available, and the trip is open to all levels of experience.
