Upper Lake >> The Lake County Land Trust (LCLT) Spring Celebration in the garden of the Blue Wing Restaurant and Tallman Hotel takes place Sunday. This event is one of two fundraising gatherings presented by the land trust each year, with money raised going to its projects, including the Big Valley wetlands preservation effort and managing and maintaining the land trust’s current properties like the Rodman Preserve near Upper Lake.
Hosted by Bernie and Lynne Butcher, owners of the Tallman Hotel and Blue Wing Cafe, the event will feature Lake County wine, hors d’oeuvres and music by David Neft. The celebration is from 3 to 6 p.m. and tickets cost $50 person; the public is invited to attend.
A short presentation on current land trust efforts will be given by the trust’s president, Val Nixon, and will also feature introductions of new personnel.
Reservations are requested and can be made by calling (707) 262-0707. Payment in advance is urged and can be accomplished by going to the land trust’s website: www.lakecountylandtrust.org and clicking on the donate tab and writing “Spring Celebration,” in the comments box when entering your payment information. Payment can also be taken at the gate to the garden.
The LCLT has been campaigning to protect and preserve one of the last stretches of the Clear Lake shoreline, specifically between the Clear Lake State Park and south Lakeport area. The trust is a local nonprofit, founded in 1994, and is a member of the Land Trust Alliance and the California Council of Land Trusts. The LCLT is completely supported by local donations and small grants.
