LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Saturday morning walks at the Rodman Preserve near Upper Lake will be closed for the last three Saturdays in December and resume on Jan. 5.

Because of a variety of other commitments during the holidays the Lake County Land Trust, owners of the preserve, decided to close the walks temporarily.

The walks will resume on Jan. 5 at the usual 9 a.m. start time leaving from the Nature Center at the Preserve which is located on Westlake Road near the Nice-Lucerne Cutoff.

The Land Trust presents the walks, a children’s nature education program, and educational programs at the center and the preserve.

The walks will remain open during the winter as long as the trails are passable. Excessive rains floods portions of the trails and requires walk closure, however the Land Trust remains committed to providing access to the preserve through its guided weekly walks.
