12:00 PM SAN FRANCISCO BAY NATIONAL ESTUARINE RESEARCH RESERVE & SOLANO LAND TRUST — Rush Ranch Come to Rush Ranch to learn about science while walking near the edge of a wild wetland. Join scientist and educator Sarah Ferner from San Francisco Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve for a guided walk near the edge of Suisun Marsh during one of the highest high tides of the year – a King Tide. Nature should put on a quietly beautiful show as the rising tide slowly floods the marsh. We will learn about Rush Ranch’s marshes, scientific research occurring there, and what King Tides can teach us about sea level rise. Bring your camera to participate in California King Tide Initiative’s citizen science photo monitoring. Space is limited; pre-register online to save a spot. This event is primarily for adults, though interested young people are welcome. Please dress appropriately for winter weather, including walking on trails that will likely be wet or muddy and standing still in windy conditions. In order to protect wildlife, cattle, and rare plants—and for your pet's safety—dogs are not allowed on these trails. Maintain a safe distance from cattle and wildlife, and be aware that this is tick and wild pig country. Very heavy rain may cancel. Call Sarah at 415-407-4869 if the weather is uncertain. Leader: Sarah Ferner Registration is required. Location: 3521 Grizzly Island Road Suisun City DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 12 in Suisun City, take Grizzly Island Road south approximately 2 miles. Entrance/driveway will be on the right. |
