AHWAHNEE — Yosemite Area Audubon Society invites the community to attend a free, hands-on Mammal Workshop, covering mammals of the foothills.
Topics for discussion during the workshop include:
- Kinds of mammals present in our area

This is a two-part workshop that is meeting at the Ahwahnee Hills Regional Park on Friday, May 4 at 6 p.m. and Saturday, May 5 at 7:30 a.m.
On Friday, Audubon organizers we will give a presentation, set traps for small mammal, and take the guided bat identification walk. On Saturday, they plan to check traps and identify small mammals up close.
