Kate Mawdsley became an almost full-time botanical volunteer about 30 years ago, after she retired from a career as an academic librarian at UC Davis. She has been a docent at Jepson Prairie since 1987 and co-authored the third edition of the Jepson Prairie Preserve Handbook. Wildflowers anywhere, but especially in California’s vernal pools, are her passion.
