SLT is excited to be able to continue our Nature Walk Series that was started in 2023. In 2024, we doubled the number of walks our supporters could attend! Our series has covered numerous topics including birds, butterflies, wildflowers, dragonflies, natural history, and astronomy with upcoming walks and events scheduled for native seed collection, native plant propagation, mushrooms, geology, beetles, wreath making, snowshoeing and more! If you are interested in sharing your special knowledge on a certain topic please contact Stewardship Manager LauraBradley@siskiyoulandtrust.org. Special thanks to all of our trip leaders for making these walks an experience to remember: Caitlin Bean, Steve Huckabone, Leslie Tift, Barbara Paulson, Jennifer Silveira, Sandra VonArb, and Kathy Biggs.
