Amazing wildflowers! On this walk, you will learn how to identify them, their potential pollinators, and how to recognize at least five common Sonoma County plant family characteristics in this deep dive into wildflowers. We will start with a brief discussion, an illustrative display table, and handouts before starting the walk.
Walk Leader Carolyn Greene is an endlessly curious general naturalist, who has been observing, pondering, and asking questions about botanical wonders, for decades.

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.
