Discovery Day 2024

This event is complimentary; however, advance registration is requested by Aug. 1.

Join us for a fun day of family-friendly activities and nature walks at Discovery Day, where you can explore interdisciplinary research and projects at the UC Center for Field Studies in Great Parks' beautiful Miami Whitewater Forest.
