Recreation
A nature walk will be held once a month on the second Saturday, followed on the same day by a tour of the historic ranch house led by trained docent volunteers.
Upcoming walks will take place on Feb. 11, March 10, April 14, May 12 and June 9.
The guided walks provide an opportunity to observe wildlife at the park and learn about their natural habitat, as well as to discover some of the history of our local area.
The tour of the historic ranch house will occur right after the nature walk.
The nature walks will begin at 8:30 a.m. Rain will cancel the nature walk. The ranch tour will take place rain or shine.
If weather cancels the nature walk, the ranch house tour will begin at 8:30 a.m.
Meet under the big oaks in front of the ranch house at 8:15 a.m. to spend time seeing the wildlife and birds around the ranch house complex.

Hikes will be held, Jan. 21 and 28, and Feb. 4, 11, 18 and 25.
Hikes will be canceled in rainy weather.
Those interested in participating should reserve space for a specific date by calling the BLM Ukiah Field Office at 707-468-4000.
Early reservations are requested for the popular hikes, which are limited to 25 participants each and fill quickly.
Participants will meet at the Redbud Trailhead parking area, eight miles east of Clearlake Oaks on Highway 20 at 10 a.m. The trailhead is just west of the North Fork Cache Creek Bridge (38° 59' 13.20" N, 122° 32' 22.50" W).
The four-mile hikes last three to four hours. The trail includes a steep 600-foot climb in the first mile, so hikers should be in good physical condition.
Hikers should wear sturdy hiking boots suitable for wet conditions and dress for cold weather. They should carry water, a lunch and binoculars, as most eagle sightings are at a distance.
Hikers will enjoy scenic vistas of the Cache Creek Canyon, where eagles often soar over the creek or perch in streamside trees.
Participants often spot other wildlife including tule elk, golden eagles, osprey, herons, red-tailed hawks and egrets.
Additional information is available from the Ukiah Field Office at 707-468-4000.
