Please join California Native Plant Society (CNPS) members Mary Hunter and Julia Larke for a guided walk at Mill Bend Preserve on Sunday, May 5th. It is a springtime tradition and all are welcome!  Thanks to recent hard work by the California Conservation Corps and many RCLC volunteers, you will have a beautiful view of the Gualala River estuary from the trail. Enjoy seeing the occasional banana slug, maybe a newt, and of course a variety of wildflowers. This April we have been enjoying the Calypso Orchid, Spotted Coralroot, and Pink Flowering Currant as well as many others. With the recent rains, we may see unexpected fungi and lichen of various kinds.

The details:
May 5th (Sunday) at 10am at 46902 Old State Hwy (just off hwy 1). Wear sturdy shoes and dress for the unpredictable weather.  The walk usually lasts about an hour or longer depending on the speed and interests of the group. Don’t forget your camera!
