Botanical Splendor: rare plants of eastern Lake County
A Botanical Event for Mother's Day!
Botanical Splendor: rare plants of eastern Lake County. A natural history talk and field trip presented by Joe Callizo, Botanist
The north coast ranges of California support a hodge-podge of plant communities living on what is a geologic hodge-podge of sedimentary, volcanic, and serpentine-derived soils. Serpentine-derived soils in particular occur in relatively distinct patches amidst other soil types. This patchiness in combination with the unique chemistry of serpentine soils underlies the evolution of unique and rare plant species associated with serpentine. Joe Callizo has been a botanist in the Lake/Napa counties region for 40 years and has monitored rare plant species at the McLaughlin Reserve in eastern Lake County for 20 years. Joe will give a presentation on the rare plants of eastern Lake and northwestern Napa Counties, and take us for a walk through parts of the Reserve with populations of some of these rare species.
Sunday May 14, 2006 at the UC Davis' McLaughlin Reserve, Lower Lake, California
1:30 - 3:00 pm: Lecture and discussion.
3:00 - 4:30 pm: Mini field trip on-site (weather permitting). Wear sturdy footwear, bring a sun-hat, water bottle, munchies. We will be walking off-trail, so be prepared for uneven ground and some rocky hillsides.
Space is limited. Please make your reservation by May 12. Reservations are accepted on a first-come first-serve basis. Please make your reservations by calling Cathy Koehler or Paul Aigner at (707) 995 9005, or emailing mclaughlin@ucdavis.edu. Please provide your name, phone number, and the name of each person for whom you are also making reservations.
