Park in the Train/Pony Rides Parking Lot and then walk across the street to the picnic table where FoGP will have a Welcome Table set-up. Before anyone may volunteer in Griffith […]
The 8th L.A. Raptor Study from Daniel S. Cooper, Nurit Katz & team is currently being compiled in anticipation of the upcoming ZOOM call sharing study results.

FoGP continues its Summer Lecture Series featuring Dr. Greg Pauly discussing “Beyond Raptors and Carnivores: Anticoagulant Rodenticide Exposure in Southern California Snakes.” Rodenticides are widely used to control pest populations.
