Join Hearts For Sight Foundation for our next Nature Social at Pío Pico State Historic Park, funded by Parks California!
Pío Pico State Historic Park is a five-acre historic site featuring gardens and the restored adobe home of Pío Pico, the last governor of Mexican California. The adobe was part of Pío Pico’s ranch, known as El Ranchito, and offers visitors an opportunity to learn about his life, ranching, and California history during the 1800s.
Our Nature Socials are accessible outdoor gatherings designed primarily for people who are blind or visually impaired. They provide opportunities to enjoy nature, learn something new, participate in light outdoor activities, and connect with others in a welcoming environment.
