Please join us for the following field trips, co-hosted by Shasta Chapter CNPS and Shasta Environmental Alliance (SEA).
Chamise Peak Native Plant Field Trip
NEW DATE: Sunday, January 14, 9 AM to 1 PM
- Chamise Peak Trail is an easy to moderately difficulty trail of 4½ miles with a 700-foot elevation climb. This trail goes through oak woodland and chaparral habitats with scattered conifers. Participants will learn how to identify native shrubs and trees in the winter, and hear a little about their natural history. Walk leader David Ledger will discuss why there is no chamise along the trail although it is found in the surrounding area. We will meet in the Holiday Market parking lot near CVS on Placer and Buenaventura, Redding, at 9 AM, to carpool to the trail, or you can meet us at the trailhead at 9:30 AM. (We would like to reduce our greenhouse gases by carpooling, but it is not required.) Be sure to sign both waivers (see introductory paragraph). For light rain, bring an umbrella; heavy rain cancels. Dogs OK on leash if you pick up after them.
Cloverdale Trails Restoration and Ecology Field Trip
Saturday, February 10, 9 AM
- Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Ecologist Brooke Thompson will lead this field trip on several of the Cloverdale trails and explain the restoration work that BLM has been doing, as well as the effects that humans have had in the area. Brooke is very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about restoring and protecting BLM lands. This will be an easy walk of about three miles, lasting up to three hours. We will meet in the Holiday Market parking lot near CVS on Placer and Buenaventura, Redding, at 9 AM, to carpool to the trail, or you can meet us at the trailhead at 9:20 AM. (We would like to reduce our greenhouse gases by carpooling, but it is not required.) For light rain, bring an umbrella; heavy rain cancels. Dogs OK on leash if you pick up after them. Limited to 20 participants: sign up on Shasta Environmental Alliance’s Meetup page, and be sure to sign both waivers (see introductory paragraph).
