Nature Hike at King-Swett Ranches   Saturday,  MAR  5, 2022
9:00 AM

SOLANO LAND TRUST —  King-Swett Ranches
Come explore the hills between Fairfield, Benicia, and Vallejo! You'll be led by expert Solano Land Trust guides who know this area—known as the King-Swett Ranches—inside out. They'll share insights about the birds and other wildlife in this area, and give you a great workout! Take advantage of this special opportunity if you can because the King-Swett Ranches are otherwise closed. Bring: a backpack with plenty of water and snacks, boots or sturdy closed-toe shoes with tread for rugged, steep, and slippery off-trail terrain, long, sturdy pants and layered clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, protection from the elements (sun, wind, fog, rain). Recommended: binoculars, camera, bug repellent, hiking sticks, gaiters. Participants of all ages are welcome, but they must be prepared: a strenuous pace hiking up to 6 miles off-trail, up and down rugged, steep, and slippery hills that are full of sticky seeds, thorny plants, and thistle. The King-Swett Ranches are working ranches—cattle are free range so they roam as they please. Sorry, no dogs allowed. Registration is required. For more information or to register, visit us online.

The guided hike is $10 per person. You can pay online when registering, or bring cash/check, payable to Solano Land Trust. For more information or to register, visit the event page online.

Community Science Volunteer Opportunity   Friday,  MAR  11, 2022
8:30 AM

SOLANO LAND TRUST —  Patwino Worrtla Kodoi Dihi Open Space Park
We need help counting flowers in a beautiful space! Join Jasmine Westbrook-Barsukov, Solano Land Trust’s project manager, in an effort to locate and count the rare Harmonia nutans flower. Also know as Nodding Madia or Nodding Harmonia, this rare dicot gives “Harmonia Hill” and the trail leading to it their names. Participants will sharpen their plant identification skills while taking a guided hike through some of the most scenic reaches of the property. This flower only grows in a tiny part of the North Bay and we need to see how it is faring in the park. You will of course see plenty of other lovely plants (and have an easier time finding them). Bring water, sturdy footwear, and protection from the sun. Registration is required. Ages 12 and up who are comfortable with this kind of physical exertion are welcome—those under 18 must be accompanied by an adult and must have a liability waiver signed by a parent or legal guardian. For more information or to register, visit us online or call 707-432-0150.
