UPPER LAKE, Calif. – This Saturday, June 9, join Lake County Land Trust members and volunteers for a morning walk at the Trust’s Rodman Preserve at 6350 Westlake Road near Upper Lake.

Brad Barnwell will be leading the group, starting at 8 a.m.

Spring is a great time to see resident songbirds and raptors and Barnwell will be able to help you identify those elusive swallows that you may always have wondered about: “Are they tree swallows or a violet greens?”

Arrive at the Rodman Preserve Nature Center a little before 8 a.m. Bring your binoculars of course and sturdy walking shoes.

The walk is about two miles and is generally an easy hike with only a couple of hills. Views are beautiful and birds should be plentiful.

Please don’t confuse the Rodman Preserve with the County’s Rodman Slough Park which is down by the bridge over the slough. Rodman Preserve is at the corner of Westlake Road and the Nice-Lucerne Cut-off.

The Lake County Land Trust is a local charitable 501C(3) that protects valuable natural habitats in Lake County.
