DOCENT WALKS START MARCH 10 By Kate Finnigan As your new Docent Coordinator, I would first like to thank Carolyn Strange for the great job she has done in the past three years, and for helping me learn the ropes this year. I’m excited about the prospects of another wildflower season, and this year will be extra special because of the return of the Bay checkerspot butterfly (see butterfly article). Docent walks begin this year on Saturday, March 10, 2007 and run every weekend through Sunday, June 10, 2007. Because of its popularity in the last two years, the Clarkia trailhead on Cañada Rd will serve as the starting point for six additional walks this year. Those walks will occur on Saturdays in April and May. The Clarkia offers an opportunity to see more of the serpentine chaparral, and visitors can reach the grasslands a little more easily than from the Day Camp. (Recall that we stopped using the I-280 Edgewood Road entrance near the Park & Ride lot after the 2003 season at the request of the Parks Department.) The enclosed flyer is also available on the Friends website at www.friendsofedgewood.org. We encourage you to download the PDF and distribute it to your friends and colleagues. You’ll also find our trail map there. As in the past, we are happy to offer special wildflower tours to groups of 10 or more. To make arrangements, please contact me at docent-coordinator@friendsofedgewood.org or call the toll-free line at 1-866-GO-EDGEWOOD (1-866-463-3439). See you at the Preserve! |
