This repository reduces litter at the pond and saves wildlife from becoming entangled in littered fishing line! Next time that you come to Doane Pond to fish, remember to gather your used fishing line and recycle it at this new repository!
The birds and the fish will thank you!

Happy Friday! Check out this Mountain Dogwood flower! 🌼 flowers emerge well before its leaves, and the large white "petals" on Dogwood flowers are actually modified leaves, called "petioles!"

Happy Friday! The ❄️ is patchy at Paso Picacho. For the best ❄️ you will need to hike to the higher elevations of Cuyamaca ⛰.

@boygirlparty Greetings! It's been a while since we've checked up on things here at Twitter. YES! That is a Banana Slug, and Palomar Mountain State Park happens to be the southern most range of their habitation in California. Excellent find!

Do you know what to do if you think an animal is hurt or trapped? Answer: tell park staff. They will go out and see if the animal needs help. This fawn was trapped and definitely needed human help. Photo: Environmental scientist and the fawn he rescued.

Mountain dogwood on full display in the park! This individual gets full sunlight almost all day, so others that are in shade might have a few days more, perhaps a week, until they fully blossom.

No bunny 🥚s. Just the bird’s nest thistle with its plant “eggs” in the meadows. 🐇 🌼.

With approximately 140 miles of trails and fire roads in Cuyamaca the possibilities for fun are endless.
