Sold out-Amazing wildflowers! On this walk, you will learn how to identify them, their potential pollinators, and how to recognize common Sonoma County plant family characteristics in this deep dive into wildflowers. Before starting the walk, we will start with a brief discussion, an illustrative display table, and handouts.

Join Deborah Large, the author, editor, and photographer of the Jack London Park “Blooming Now” wildflower guide and a long-time park naturalist with Carolyn Greene, an endlessly curious general naturalist, who has been observing, pondering, and asking questions about botanical wonders, for decades.  Her undergraduate degree is in biogeography from U.C., specializing in botany. She has worked as a field biologist, conducting wildlife, plant, and restoration research for the past 25 years, for local parks, the California State Parks system, and for the U.S. National Park Service. Carolyn is also a certified California Naturalist and “Cal Nat” trainer.

Expect about 2 miles of slow-paced walking with some elevation gain. Wear sturdy shoes, bring a snack, water, and hiking poles (optional), dress in layers, and plan on a wonderful springtime adventure.
