We will meet at 9:00 AM at the Rite Aid in Ashland and make our way into the Monument from there. Carpooling is optional.

Enjoy a birding walk in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument led by the Elva Manquera-DeShields of the Klamath Bird Observatory.

Elva Manquera-DeShields has been with the Klamath Bird Observatory for three years. Her role within the organization is science communications, outreach, and DEIJ Manager. She moved to the Rogue Valley to study environmental education at Southern Oregon University. In her free time, Elva likes to go Kayaking, hiking, and work in her garden.

The Friends of Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument’s mission is to support the protection, restoration and conservation of the Monument through service, advocacy and education. Our Hike and Learn programs are designed to introduce the public to different topics and locations within the Monument. Hike and Learns are co-created with local scientists, historians, artists, students, and more.
