Have fun alongside fellow nature enthusiasts and help document the presence or absence of the American badger (Taxidea taxus), a species protected under the San Diego Multiple Species Conservation Plan (MSCP). Your participation will provide valuable data to support conservation efforts and assess how interconnected protected lands are working to sustain local biodiversity.
