Tour the marsh

Friends of the Arcata Marsh will sponsor a free tour of the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary on Saturday.

Wetlands workday

The Redwood Region Audubon Society will sponsor a Wigi Wetlands volunteer workday Saturday from 9 to 11 a.m.

Volunteers are needed to help create bird-friendly native habitats and restore a section of the bay trail by removing invasive plants and trash. This month, everyone will be planting trees and shrubs, scattering wildflower seeds and continuing the removal of invasive that are popping up.

The trail section is located behind the Bayshore Mall and volunteers will meet in the parking lot directly behind Walmart. The Audubon Society will provide tools, gloves and packaged snacks. Contact Eric Nelson at etn3115@icloud.com for more information.

Birding walk

The Redwood Region Audubon Society will present a Southern Humboldt birding walk on Saturday.

This walk includes two to three miles of gentle walking through riparian, grassland and mixed hardwood forests with bird species varying by season. Year-round residents include jays, towhees, woodpeckers and several raptor species.

Everyone will meet at the Tooby Park parking lot located one mile west of Garberville on Sprowl Creek Road. This trip occurs on the fourth Saturday of every month, generally starts around 8:30 a.m., and the leaders vary by month. Call Ann at 707-296-8720 for the correct start time or any other questions.

Pancakes and books

The Trinidad Lions Club will hold a pancake breakfast and book sale Sunday at Trinidad School from 8 to 11 a.m.

The menu includes pancakes, a choice of ham or sausage and eggs or biscuits and gravy and eggs. The cost is $8 for adults and $4 for children $4. Books are 25 cents to $1 each. Proceeds from this event will benefit youth, school and community projects.

Visit Wedding Rock

The Redwood Region Audubon Society will host a trip to Wedding Rock at Sue-meg State Park on Sunday from 9 a.m. to noon.

Wedding Rock is one of the county’s best sea-watch locations, and participants will spend the morning scanning for goodies that could include rhinoceros auklet, ancient murrelet, black-legged kittiwake, Iceland gull and Northern fulmar.

The walk leader will also share sea-watching techniques and seabird identification tips. This will be a relaxed morning of birding and camaraderie. The site requires a short but somewhat strenuous walk to reach.

To attend, meet leader Ken Burton (shrikethree@gmail.com) on the east side of Patrick’s Point Drive just north of the Sue-meg State Park entrance to carpool into the park, or meet at the rock later, if you wish. Bring scopes and park passes if you have them and snacks to share, if you wish.

Dance party

A dance featuring live music and “a great floor” takes place Mondays from 7 to 9:30 p.m. at the Moose Lodge, 4328 Campton Road, Eureka. Admission is $9.
