Big River Interpretive Walks

Join the Big River Docents for free Interpretive Walks at Big River!

Walk participants will learn about the cultural history of Mendocino, the Big River Estuary, the birds and animals of Big River and redwood ecology while walking down the Main Haul Road, enjoying beautiful views of the river. 

These walks are free of charge and open to everyone!

 

 









 Big River Interpretive Walks are a wonderful way to discover more about Big River and the Mendocino area.  Whether you are a Mendocino Coast resident or a visitor to the area, the Big River Docents will share fascinating stories and facts with you.
