Ewe Know Ewe Want to Join

The folks at Anza-Borrego are looking for sheep peepers to help them count big horn sheep over the long Fourth of July weekend in their longstanding citizen scientist program.

It’s the 45th annual census and over the years, counters and biologists have seen growing numbers of the sure-footed sheep in the area. Current estimates are about 500 in the park and totals for the entire Peninsular Ranges at more than 900 sheep.

There’s a mandatory orientation on June 20.
