By Bob Young

The Nature Conservancy recently reported that some open space groups have developed programs for sight-impaired persons. This started me thinking that someone in our Friends of Edgewood membership might be interested in creating a similar program for Edgewood Natural Preserve.

When you think of the possibilities, such as the following, you might say, "Yes, I’d like to do that."

• the smell of Coyote Mint, Yerba Buena, or Ceanothus
• the feel of a Sticky Monkey flower; the shape of a Mule’s Ear plant; the slickness of a serpentine rock; the bark of madrone, valley oak, or coast live oak; or the shapes of flowers such as larkspur or poppies

Undoubtedly, local Centers for the Blind would help develop a meaningful program. They would have to be contacted.

If you’re interested in becoming involved in such a program, please call me.
