Excursion to Palo Corona Discovery Center

On March 10th residents took a trip to Palo Corona Discovery Center where they met up with Debbie Wyatt, Environmental Education Coordinator. Our residents learned about the indigenous people of the area and all the wildlife in the area. Everyone was fascinated by one special bird. The California Condor. Residents marveled at the wing span of the condor. 9.5 foot wingspan and how big the condor eggs are. A great time was held by all. We look forward to visiting again.
