Wildlife & Landscape Arts Exhibition

Surrounded by redwood forests, bays, marshes, rivers, and ocean, Humboldt County has the clean air and water combined with a rural environment necessary to support a diverse bird population. Godwit Days celebrates the birds on this April weekend not only with lectures, field trips and workshops, but also with an artistic tribute to the birds, and the local environment from which so many gather inspirations.
