Beginning in the Edible Garden, take a guided bird walk through the Nature Gardens to identify avian Angelenos as part of Project Phoenix, the community science program investigating how wildfire smoke impacts birds.

Meet a teammate behind the groundbreaking project and learn how you can participate from your home.
