Field Trip Leader: Chris Conard

Summer in Sacramento can be tough, but an early morning start can make for an enjoyable outing. We'll look and listen for summer residents, and focus on trying to find a local specialty, Blue Grosbeak. Here in the low floodplain, the seasonal wetlands and riparian forests stay lush. The 2500-acre Bufferlands, surrounding the Sacramento Regional WTP, provide an open space buffer between the treatment plant and the community. A wealth of habitat has been preserved and enhanced by over 30 years of restoration of native habitats and management for wildlife. Expect a walk of up to two miles on mostly level gravel/dirt roads and mowed paths.

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