Drone data collection activities to take place April 18-25
From April 18-25, 2024, AirWorks crews will be collecting data to support preparedness for future broadband installation work in portions of Lake County. This data collection will support implementation of Lake County’s updated Broadband Master Plan (currently under development in partnership with CBG Communications, Inc.). These operations include use of drones flying at 200-3,000 feet (weather permitting), and some ground crews taking measurements and conducting safety checks. Work will be done between 7am and 5pm each day. The areas expected to be surveyed include roughly 40 miles, in total, in the Nice and Kelseyville areas; data regarding utility structures (poles and wires), roads, sidewalks and curbs will be collected, and used for mapping purposes, only. A digital map is accessible at https://gispublic.co.lake.ca.us/portal/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=4eba0cf003c54e208d233cbdfd8e9de6

LAKE COUNTY
Land Tending Days at Rodman Preserve, May 4 and June 8
Did you know Lake County is home to a variety of native California Bunch Grass? There are numerous species of these grasses at the Rodman Preserve. Restoring them to their dominance at the Preserve is a goal of Lake County Land Trust (LCLT).
Last year LCLT sponsored a few days to bring interested folks to the Preserve to “tend” a few areas where we are nurturing the native grasses. It was fun gathering outside and making a difference at the Preserve. Are you interested in learning how to identify common native bunch grasses and helping them thrive at the Preserve? Do you like being outside, getting your hands into the Earth, meeting like minded people and sharing a meal? If so, join us at the Rodman Preserve for “Land Tending Days.”
The work will only last for two hours at the most, or less if anyone gets tired. Participants will begin their day at 10 a.m. in our Nature Center at the Rodman Preserve. We will walk out on the trail, watch a tending demonstration, and then start removing the non-native grasses that surround the natives. We will end the day enjoying a lunch provided by the LCLT on the back porch of the Nature Center.
Please RSVP for one or both days. We need to know if you are coming so we make sure to have enough food for everyone. Call 707-262-0707 if you have any questions.
