10:00 AM SOLANO LAND TRUST — Jepson Prairie Jepson Prairie Preserve is just over 1500 acres and is one of California’s best remaining examples of vernal pools and native grasslands. Enjoy an easy, meandering walk in a portion of the Preserve only accessible with a Jepson Prairie docent. Under wide-open skies, the Preserve explodes into color during its spring wildflower display. Dry and dormant most of the year, the prairie is transformed by winter rains into a tapestry of stunning colors, and its vernal pools host a rich diversity of rare aquatic life. Bring: Portable drinking water, insect repellent. (Optional: snacks or a bag lunch). Be prepared for variable weather (bring layered clothes including pants, boots or sturdy closed-toe shoes, and protection for sun, wind, fog and rain). A donation is suggested but not required. Donations contribute to the sustainability of Jepson Prairie and the Jepson Prairie Docents. Location: Dixon DIRECTIONS: Cook Lane off Highway 113 South 12 miles south of Dixon |
