In keeping with the mission, our website is a growing source of natural history information for our region: from Southern California to the tip of the Baja California peninsula and the Sea of Cortés. This function of the website is one that we'll be building—especially in our Field Guide to the Californias—for years to come.

One of our goals is to make this site a tool to help educators and children learn about the natural world around them. Be sure to look over our Kids' Habitat, which has materials developed specifically for children, as well as links to pertinent subjects elsewhere on this site and on the Web.
