Unsure of what to do this weekend? Try out these ideas. 

Learn About Squirrels
In Greek, skia means “shadow” and oura means “tail.” Put them together and you get Sciurus, the genus of squirrels! Come and learn about the shade-tails on this walk, lead by Lila Talcott-Travis, a longtime wildlife rehabber and student of squirrel morphology, natural history, and lore. Squirrels have achieved a place of distinction in European and English family crests as a symbol of retirement or retreat into the forest, something we all probably think about living in bustling Oakland. To find out more visit the Wild Oakland website.
