Join us for a peaceful morning walk at Teichert Ponds near Donner Lake, a hidden gem full of wildlife and natural beauty. Led by Sarah Hockensmith from the Tahoe Institute for Natural Science (TINS), this guided outing is a chance to explore the area in search of river otters, birds, and all things nature.

As we stroll along the ponds and surrounding habitat, we’ll observe the sights and sounds of early fall in the Sierra, from diving ducks to darting dragonflies, and maybe even a glimpse of a playful otter.

This free event is made possible by a generous grant from the Tahoe Truckee Community Foundation. All are welcome whether you're a seasoned naturalist or simply curious about the wild world around you.

What to Bring:

• Binoculars (a limited number may be available to borrow per in advance request)

• Comfortable walking shoes

• Water and sun protection

• Curiosity and a sense of wonder

Space may be limited, so early arrival is encouraged. We look forward to exploring with you!
