Sycamore Canyon Nature Journal

Help create a record of "what's happening" at Riverside's Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park! Post your observations and descriptions of animals, plants, and other changing natural features and phenomena. Use your own iNaturalist account, or use the City of Riverside's NatureSpotter smartphone app http://www.riversideca.gov/museum/nature-spotter.asp.

This project will share your experiences with others, and allow others to comment, add identifications and otherwise enrich our knowledge of the Park as a natural setting for both common and threatened species.

Sycamore Canyon Wilderness Park is a 1,500 acre public open space maintained by the City of Riverside, California. The Park consists of rolling hills dissected by riparian canyons, and is used for mountain biking, hiking, bird watching, scholarly pursuits, and just contemplating the wonders of nature. This is also one of eight protected reserves within Riverside County for the federally-listed endangered Stephens’ kangaroo rat. less ↑
