LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Memorial Day is busy in Lake County, with lots of options for family fun.

The Lake County Land Trust has added one more event — Family Day at the Rodman Preserve. Come out to the Land Trust’s preserve at 6350 Westlake Road on Saturday, May 24, and enjoy a late morning and early afternoon nature walk, scavenger hunt, and other fun activities led by Land Trust volunteers and naturalists.

The preserve will be open from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Water will be provided and visitors are encouraged to bring a sack lunch to enjoy on the back porch or under the oak trees.

A guided walk will be held at 10 a.m. but self-guided walks are also offered children’s activities
will start at 10 a.m. with a fun nature scavenger hunt, games, displays, and the chance to look at critters and bugs through microscopes, with biologist Dr. Harry Lyons on hand to identify them.

This isn’t just a “kid’s day,” adults are more than welcome and will have activities too.

Redbud Audubon’s renowned naturalist Donna Mackiewicz will engage kids in nature activities like the “recycle game,” which is a learning experience and fun too.

The activity table will teach youngsters about birds and there is also cool stuff on display like skulls and animal pelts.

The goal of Family Day at the Rodman Preserve is to encourage exploration of nature and to introduce people to the Lake County Land Trust and its Nature Preserve and Center.

Come at 10 a.m. or drop by any time. It will be fun.
