Franklin Canyon Bird Walk

Sunday, June 12, 2022 - 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM

Click location below for description, directions and a map. Paula Orlovich will lead this walk in one of L.A.’s hidden gems. 

Walk is limited to 15 people due to narrow hiking trails.

Franklin Canyon Park rests on 605 acres near the center of Los Angeles between the San Fernando Valley and Beverly Hills. Within the park boundaries are chaparral, grasslands and oak woodlands, a three-acre lake, an ADA-accessible duck pond, expansive picnic grounds, and over five miles of hiking trails. The lake and pond serve as permanent and seasonal home for birds in the Pacific flyway, including the spectacular Mandarin Duck.
