“Part of what makes Asilomar so unique is its deep connection with nature. Biking, bird watching and strolling along the boardwalk encourage you to relax and enjoy the day. Year-round, you can take part in a vast array of outdoor activities including cycling along miles of beautiful shore or gathering your friends for a fun game of volleyball. Follow a trail through the dunes and take in the endless views of crashing surf and turquoise-colored ocean water - at Asilomar we have it all.”
The next annual California Council for Wildlife Rehabilitators will be November 4th-5th, 2023 at the Asilomar Conference Grounds in Pacific Grove, California.
