Join California Certified Naturalists Judy Armstrong and Judy Withee for this series of meandering explorations.

Some wheelchair users with off-road capacity chairs have successfully travelled this trail\, which during the dry season is relatively accessible for viewing different habitats including a large meadow. We will travel from the White Barn about a mile out into Meadow trail\, to the big wooden bridge that crosses Sonoma Creek in search of Diogenes’ Lanterns\, California poppies\, Brodiaia\, Clarkias\, etc. There will be frequent stops and opportunities for conversation\, photography\, nature journaling\, wildlife viewing\, resting\, etc.\, so bring your nature journal\, camera\, or binoculars\, if you have them. \nTickets are $5-$10 sliding scale for adults and free for children under 12.
