This special docent-led walk replaces the originally scheduled May 16 outing and offers a behind-the-scenes look at how volunteers help manage invasive plant species across the Ranch. Led by docent Michael Thomas, participants will spend approximately two hours, mostly off trail, learning about the invasive plants found on the preserve, where they come from, how they are removed, and how restoration efforts are prioritized week to week.
While the Ranch is known for its beautiful native landscapes and spring wildflowers, it takes more than 1,000 volunteer hours each year to maintain these conditions. This walk offers a deeper understanding of that effort while giving participants a more hands-on connection to the land.
Wear comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for off-trail walking. Children are welcome with adult supervision. Please note that dogs are not permitted, there are no restroom facilities on site, and rain will cancel the event.
