Field
Trip to the
Gibbon
Conservation Center
Sunday, Feb. 21
10 AM - 11:30 AM
Please
do not attend if you are ill. Diseases can be easily transmitted
to the gibbons, who lack resistance to human diseases. You
will be turned away if you are sick.
Directions
are in your course handbook, but note the enhanced directions
due to the loss of signage:
There
are several mailboxes and kennel signs at this corner.
The Gibbon Center is .3 of a mile from the mailboxes.
The Esguerra Rd street sign is now missing. There will be a yellow 4' high
sign with a grey gibbon at that spot with the words turn right.
Drive 1/10 of a mile on the dirt road and drive through a dry or swallow stream
bed. Turn right at the sign with a gibbon pointing. At that spot there are
two roads that you could take that go right. Please take the one that keeps
you on level ground. Drive 1/20th of a mile then turn left where there is another
gibbon sign. From there drive drive 1/10th of a mile to the clearing outside
the chainlink fence, where you can park.
Drive North East 2.5 miles on Valencia Blvd. and turn left on Bouquet
Canyon Rd. Drive 5.3 miles on Bouquet Canyon (Note: once
you pass a mobile home park on the left, it will be approximately approximately
.5 of a mile further.) Turn right on Esguerra Rd. (may be spelled "Esquerra")--a
dirt road which only goes to the right.
In the event of light rain, the tour will continue. Check this site in the
event of heavy rain. If the tour is cancelled, it will be posted here.
Check the Gibbon Center website for other dates. Friends and family are welcome
to attend with you.
