LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — This week a special event will celebrate the first decade of the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument.

On July 10, 2015, President Obama established the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument to conserve and protect federally managed lands in California's Northern Inner Coast Range. 

This was the culmination of many years of hard work by Tuleyome, its partners and the community.

Most of the 344,000-acre monument is within Lake County.

To celebrate “10 Years Wild,” as well as the 25th anniversary of the National Conservation Lands System, join Tuleyome at the Tallman Hotel, 9550 Main St. in Upper Lake beginning at 5 p.m. Thursday, July 10.

The celebration starts with hors d'oeuvres, drinks, trivia and guest speakers, and then moves to the Middle Creek Campground at 15230 Elk Mountain Road in Upper Lake from 7:30 to 10 p.m. for nighttime activities — including s'mores.

More information and registration is available on the Tuleyome website.
