Join Paul Heiple and Ken Himes on an early spring walk along the Clarkia Trail in Edgewood County Park and Preserve. Plants of the serpentine chaparral and serpentine grasslands will be featured. In addition, Paul will comment about the improvements to the grasslands along the western Clarkia Trail as habitat restoration efforts continue to reduce the yellow star-thistle population. For example, plants such as narrow-leaf milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis) have increased dramatically.
RSVP is required to join us for the walk. Space is limited. No drop-ins please. We have arranged for two walks: this one in March and a second one on April 19. Please register for only one walk to allow others to attend. To register, please visit the walk’s Meetup page, at www.meetup.com/California-Native-Plant-Society-Santa- Clara-Valley-Chapter/events/284005806. Walk details and driving directions are provided on Meetup. We’ll be meeting at the Cañada Road entrance to the park.
