Nature treasure adventure: Animals
You don’t have to see animals to know they are all around us in the Santa Monica Mountains. Learn the signs and sounds, use trail or motion sensor cameras and look for the right habitats. Remember to treat any wild animal you encounter with respect and do what you can to maintain a safe environment for them.
