Gibbon Conservation Center

Sunday, Feb. 22, 2009
10:00-11:30 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.

Check the Gibbon Center website for other dates. Friends and family are welcome to attend with you.
