A short 18-mile drive from the Pacific Ocean, the greater Fallbrook area is well known for its gently rolling hills, lush groves, ancient oak trees, equestrian and walking trails, riparian areas, nature preserves, and Mediterranean climate.
Los Jilgueros Preserve
A popular walking and bird-watching destination just south of town. The 46-acre preserve features a 1.5-mile loop trail, ponds and wetlands, a Firescape Demonstration garden, and a native plant restoration area. More than 130 species of birds have been identified on FLC’s preserves, including the endangered Bell’s Least Vireo.
The Friends of Los Jilgueros emphasize that LJP is “a preserve, not a park,” and encourage safe and respectful use.
