Native Plant Walk in the McConnell Arboretum
Tuesday, April 23rd at 9 am
Learn to identify native plants in your own “backyard” with SEA and the California Native Plant Society, Shasta Chapter on a short loop trail on the northwest side of the Sacramento River. Walk leader David Ledger will identify native plants of the area and talk about certain aspects of plants and why they are growing there.
For those new to native plants you can learn the common trees, shrubs, and wildflowers on this easy two-mile walk. Walk leader David Ledger will also give a brief explanation of photosynthesis and water movement in plants from the roots to the highest leaf in a tree. Limited to 20 people, please sign up on our Meetup site. We will meet under the huge oak tree across from the Turtle Bay parking lot by the service road and sidewalk to the Sundial Bridge.
