Hog Lake Plateau Field Trip (SEA + CNPS)
April 21
Hog Lake Plateau, Sacramento River Bend Recreation Area
Sunday, April 21
Hog Lake Plateau is one of the best places in the North State to be wowed by amazing arrays of spring wildflowers, as well as many bird species. We will visit Hog Lake itself—in fact a very large vernal pool—and at least one other smaller pool in the blue oak woodlands above. This field trip is a follow-up to the CNPS April 18th Chapter meeting presentation by Greg Lockett, Hog Lake and Environs, in which he shares his gorgeous photography of this beautiful area and its botanical denizens.
Be prepared for ~2 miles of mostly, if not entirely, off-trail walking in very rocky and very possibly muddy conditions. Hiking poles may come in handy! Wear appropriate footwear, and bring water and lunch or snacks. Make sure you have signed both waivers for 2024 (see opening paragraph). For light rain, bring an umbrella; heavy rain cancels. Dogs OK on leash if you pick up after them. Please RSVP to Shasta Chapter CNPS at shastacnps@gmail.com for time and location details.
