Field Trip Leader: Chris Conard

Development in Folsom over the past 35 years has covered most of the habitat between Folsom's city core, Hwy 50 and El Dorado Hills, but small pockets of marshlands, oaks and riparian forest remain along Humbug and Willow Creeks, including an impressive array of trails. We'll look for marsh birds, including rails, sparrows and other species before checking Folsom Lake and the oak woodlands near Mormon Island. Be prepared for up to four miles of fairly easy walking.

Directions and confirmation of exact meeting location and time will be provided upon registration.
