Explore San Diego with Museum Curators
Tuesday, May 14, 2024
Join us for an exclusive day of hiking with two star curators from The Nat. Join Curator of Paleontology and Director of PaleoServices Dr. Tom Deméré for a morning walk at Torrey Pines Natural Reserve. Alternately, Curator of Botany Dr. Jon Rebman will be leading an afternoon hike at Mission Trails Regional Park.
Choose your adventure based on your availability, activity level, or desired scenery. You will have the opportunity to learn more about what makes our region so unique—from the cliffs along the shore that hold 48 million years of history in their strata, to the floristic biodiversity of the largest city park in California.
Invitations and more information will be sent to current Leadership Circle members. For more information on joining the Leadership Circle, please contact Alejandra Saavedra at asaavedra@sdnhm.org or 619.255.0273.
