The rains that drenched southern California this winter will yield a profusion of wildflowers in the foothills, mountains, and deserts. There is a limit of 12 participants for each trip. Dates, times, and costs to be determined. The course will end with a trip to the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to explore cacti in their native habitats. When we take time to learn about our environment, we find many treasures within.
Bats are truly one overlooked treasure.
These fascinating creatures are vital seed-dispersers in the rain forest, irreplaceable desert and tropical pollinators, and voracious insect controllers for American farmers. Not long ago, bats filled the night skies. Today they are threatened worldwide and remain America s most rapidly declining and endangered land mammals. Join us as Stephanie Remington presents a slide-illustrated lecture on the fascinating world of bats and meet Coco, her native California brown bat. Learn how to make garden stepping stones, construct birdfeeders, craft leaf print gift cards, decorate flower pots and plant them with California wildflowers.
