Sacramento River Bend Field Trip
2023-12-09 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm PST
Sacramento River Bend Field Trip
Saturday, December 9th, 9:30 am
This joint SEA/CNPS field trip will be to the BLM’s Sacramento River Bend in Tehama County. It will be two short, easy walks totaling about 4 miles on a generally flat trail along Paynes Creek where in one section we will see a riparian area of California sycamores (Platanus racemosa) with an understory of many California buckeye (Aesculus californica). This will be a good way to learn how to identify shrubs and trees in the fall, most without their leaves which walk leader David Ledger will identify.
The second short walk will be in the riparian forest next to the Sacramento River. If excessively muddy, we will walk a different trail.
Bring water, lunch, boots, and layered clothes. If there’s a drizzle or light rain, bring an umbrella, but rain cancels (It rains way less in Tehama County).
For more information, contact walk leader David Ledger at david@ecoshasta.org. SIGN UP at our MeetUp webpage https://www.meetup.com/shasta-environmental-alliance-sea/ and make sure to sign the waiver!!! Meet at the CVS parking lot at Buena Ventura and Placer at 9:30 am.
