Annual Fall Mushroom WorkshopSunday, December 4, 10:00 to noonMark Albert and Dave Bengston will again guide us through the fascinating world of mushrooms! Come learn about the essential role that fungus play in an Oak Woodland ecosystem and meet some of our local mushrooms. Mark and Dave collect an array of mushrooms to share and participants will have the opportunity to explore the mixed woodlands at the RVOEP to see what mushrooms are up. Beginning mushroom enthusiasts and veterans should find this a stimulating morning. IF IT IS RAINING, THE WORKSHOP WILL BE HELD AT THE EAGLE PEAK MIDDLE SCHOOL CAFETERIA (8601 West Road, Redwood Valley).
Spring Hike with a NaturalistSaturday, May 19, 8:30 AM to 11:00 AMClose to a hundred species of birds have been identified at the RVOEP during the spring nesting season. Many of our native plants are in bloom. It is a glorious time for a walk with Marisela de Santa Anna, a well-known local naturalist with a broad background of knowledge about Mendocino County flora and fauna. Her walks are always fun and informative. Participants should wear good hiking shoes, long pants, a hat, and mosquito repellent. Bring your own binoculars or borrow a pair from the RVOEP.
