  Wildflower and Critter docent-led walk at Jepson Prairie

  Saturday, May 3 at 10:00 am to noon

  
  

  Vernal pool season is back! Join Solano Land Trust and the docents of Jepson Prairie Preserve for the celebrated Wildflower and Critter Walks. 

  Certified  docents will display the crustaceans and salamanders that inhabit the vast temporary pools that form above the claypan. Then docents will tour visitors through the millions of colorful wildflowers that grow over the uplands of the property.

  Located at 4845 Cook Lane in Dixon, Jepson Prairie Preserve and its adjacent properties compose one of California’s best and largest remaining protections of vernal pool and native bunchgrass prairie ecosystems. Ten endangered species live on the land, and the Delta green ground beetle, Conservancy fairy shrimp, and Solano grass are rarely found outside the property. The pools also attract migratory birds such as stilts, avocets, and snow geese.   Trails are very wet and waterproof footwear is encouraged.

   Register on the FF Sacramento website and arrive at 4845 Cook Lane, Dixon, by 10 am.

  Join us for a day in Stockton, only one hour from Sacramento.  

  Our first destination is the Wat Dhammararam Cambodian Buddhist Temple at 3732 Carpenter Rd in Stockton.  This is an amazing outdoor temple that features over 90 colorful and larger than life statues that celebrate the life of Buddha and stories about him, including a 50-foot long reclining Buddha.  (Free; donations welcome).  

  Then we’ll stop for lunch at a Mexican Restaurant and then go to the Haggin Museum in Victory Park, 1201 N Pershing Avenue, Stockton.  The Haggin Museum’s art collection features works of art from the late 19th and 20th century masters, a historical collection featuring the Central Valley, and temporary exhibits on “ Textures of Remembrance:  Vietnamese Atists and Writers Reflect on the Vietnamese Diaspora,” “Jerome Biederman Automobile Illustrations,” and “The Case of the Disappearing Gauguin.”  (Adults $8, seniors $7).  

  We will choose a location to meet for carpooling when we know who signs up.  Contact Helen Flach, kwflach@aol.com
