Chapters in California

Our last nature hike with Ken was so much fun, we're doing another one! This time, we will meet at Dudley's, where people can buy lunch (optional) before we follow Roz to her countryside property and see what is growing and blooming. Bring good walking shoes, sunscreen, water, and your favorite means of plant and insect identification. We can lunch together at her yurt 🙂

Come meet Al and get a tour of the amazing native plant garden he takes such good care of. June should be the best time to see pollinator plants supporting our local fauna.

"This year's theme is "Honoring Mother Earth, Respecting All Our Relatives". The Iipay Nation of Santa Ysabel want to emphasize and remind community members of the interconnectedness we all share with plants, animals, elements, and soil. Whether we are working, playing, or being in nature, our actions impact all living things and in turn they impact us. Reconnecting with all our relatives and the earth has been proven to promote physical and mental health benefits, strengthen community bonds, and help us to remember our obligation to be good stewards of the land." -Joe Wier
