Welcome to the Mission Creek Community Naturalist Blog! I am hoping to start a small project meant to increase our understanding of the watershed and the community that encompasses it. Initially the focus will be the flora, fauna, physical landscape, and community of this amazing backyard park. There will be weekly postings from the notebooks, photos, and community comments.
