Did you know that a huge colony of migratory bats live under the Yolo Causeway during the summer? Join Yolo Basin Foundation for a summertime Bat Talk and Tour to learn all about these amazing and beneficial mammals.
Following a presentation on bat natural history, where you will have the opportunity to see live ambassador bats up close, the group will carpool out to the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area in Davis for a brief tour of the wetlands and rice fields. Then we get in position to watch the “flyout” of the largest urban colony of Mexican free-tailed bats in California. The bats emerge in long ribbons as they head out to hunt for insects for the night.
The whole experience takes about two and a half hours. This is a family friendly event! There is a small amount of walking. Those in wheelchairs or unable to walk may view the bats by car. Please let us know if you have special needs.
Refunding or rescheduling tickets requires two weeks notice and is subject to a $10 administrative fee.
In regards to the recent heat: While it can be very hot in town during the heat of the day, the first hour and a half of this program will take place in an air conditioned room and from your own vehicle during the auto tour. By the time we are outside to view the flyout, it will be nearly sunset. It is typically 10-15 degrees cooler in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area where we watch the bat flyout.

City of Davis Police Officer Natalie Corona was killed in the line of duty on January 10, 2019. In 2020, the Natalie Corona Committee was formed to recommend a place of remembrance for Natalie. In December 2021, the City of Davis received a $2.7 million grant from the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Grant Program to renovate Central Park. In November 2022, the Davis City Council passed a resolution authorizing the naming of the splash pad as “Natalie’s Corner” and approved the Natalie Corona Committee to assist in raising funds for the Central Park renovation project. Construction of Natalie’s Corner and related improvements to the lawn area started in August 2024.
Public art was created for Natalie’s Corner by Susan Shelton.
The Natalie Corona Committee is a community-based group led by former Mayor Lois Wolk and has been actively raising funds to support the project. To date, the committee has raised more than $550,000.

Better by the End
2025-08-17 14:00 - 15:45 | Heartscapes 1738 Pomona Dr, Davis, CA 95616, 1738 Pomona Dr, Davis, C, 95616, United States
A Wildish Workshop for People Who Are Done Pretending
$25 at the door (pay more if you can, less if you need to)
Something in you knows there is more.
Past the grind, the scrolling, the constant performing.
Welcome, those parts of you that still believe.
This isn’t a workshop to fix you. It’s a ritual in plain clothes:
a space to remember yourself, or to move something that got stuck.
You might just land in a room full of people who aren’t trying to win—just trying to be real with themselves and each other.
What Happens Here?
Every session is different.
We move with what shows up.
You might find yourself drawing, dancing, speaking truth to a stranger, or sitting quietly with a snack and your breath.
There is a structure—but it’s alive.
There is leadership—but it listens.
We always pause for a full 20-minute break in the middle with food. If you bring some, we will eat that too.
Because sharing food is an original technology. -S. Thomas
Who Comes to This?
People like you.

The queer kid done shrinking
The MAGA dad with a soft heart and no map
The burned-out caregiver who needs to fall apart for a minute
The skeptical healer
The artist who hasn’t made anything in years
The person whose body showed up before their mind said yes

This space holds grief and laughter.
Awkwardness and beauty.
Silence and song.
You don’t have to be good at anything.
You just have to show up and be. You can even leave early, and that practice itself, that micro-courageous step where you listen to your own needs, is… Better.
What You’ll Leave With:

A little more breath
A little less armor
A strange kind of joy
A sense that you are, in fact, not alone

You’ll leave better by the end—whatever that means for you.
Facilitated by leaf Wild
Artist. Counselor. Educator. Spirit liberator.
Terminal MFA. Trained in grief, fluent in play, fluent in truth. Wildish to the bone.
Bring: Comfy clothes, a snack to share if you like, and your real self.
Questions / RSVP: ask leaf or staff at: wildishwork@gmail.com
Location: HeartScapes Studio, Davis, CA
Time: Third Sundays · 2:00–3:45 PM
Cost: $25+ (no one turned away)
This is not therapy.
This is a practice ground for being human.
Come as you are.
See what moves.
Leave better.
