Lake County >> Saturday’s walk at the Lake County Land Trust’s Rodman Preserve is an opportunity for a spring view of purple needle grass (Stipa Pulchra), California’s official state grass, along with other native bunch grasses that are fairly prevalent on the property.
After taking a two-month hiatus, the Saturday morning walks at the preserve have resumed. Lake County Land Trust board member Roberta Lyons will lead tomorrow’s walk, which begins at 9 a.m.
It should be an enjoyable morning with not only views of interesting botanical species, but many songbirds as well, including red tailed hawks, acorn woodpeckers, tree swallows, possibly violet-green swallows and Western bluebirds, according to Lyons.
The Rodman Preserve is located at 6350 Westlake Road (off of the Nice-Lucerne cut-off). Directions to the preserve are on the land trust’s webpage at www.lakecountylandtrust.org. For more information, call Lyons at (707) 994-2024.
