10:00 AM SOLANO COUNTY PARKS — Lake Solano Lake Solano volunteer Frank Morris will lead this short, easy-paced tour. Morris is a water expert who will bring the lake to life with an interactive display of its fascinating plants, insects, and other creatures. The group will also explore the forest that borders the lake, and discuss the summer-time plants and animals that call this habitat home.
