Land Tending Day
June 8, 2024
After several rained out days, the Land Trust was finally able to host a "Land Tending Day" at the Rodman Preserve on June 8, 2024. Some 'land tenders' learned how to identify some California Native Grasses and worked on a Purple Needle Grass area. Another group headed to the northern area of the preserve to work on removing invasive Scotch Broom.
The weather was warm and the preserve was vibrantly alive with the sounds and smells of spring. After a few hours everyone headed back to the Nature Center to enjoy lunch together on the shady back porch.
Our native grasses are flourishing and the Scotch Broom is less able to strangle out native plants.
"Just wanted to say a big thank you to you, Roberta, and other behind-the-scenes folks at the Land Trust for last weekend's land tending event. We learned a lot about the native grasses, were introduced to a beautiful Lake County asset, got a delicious lunch on your spacious deck, and met wonderful people."
