Nearly destroyed by development\, the remaining estuary was restored in the late 1990s by a group of concerned citizens along with the City of Carpinteria\, UCSB\, and the Land Trust for Santa Barbara County. Completed in 1997\, the 8-acre portion of the marsh owned by the City of Carpinteria was renamed the Carpinteria Salt Marsh Nature Park. \n \nThe park includes walking trails and interpretive signage. It is home to hundreds of migrating birds and other wildlife\, including exotic sharks\, rays and native fish when conditions are right. Depending on the tide level we may be able to see marine wildlife like the Guitarnose Shovelfish and Round Stingrays shown above in John Brant’s photo from our walk there in 2021. We chose a date with favorable tides so we’re keeping our fingers crossed. \nCalifornia Statice AKA Sea-Lavender (Limonium californium)\nWhether or not we see any marine life\, there is a great variety of edible and medicinal plants of the Coastal Strand and Coastal Sage Scrub plant communities for us to see and learn from. Interesting and useful native plants there include Blue Elderberry\, California Blackberry\, Grindelia\, Lemonade Berry\, Mugwort\, Pickleweed\, California Statice\, Wild Rose\, and Coastal Sagebrush. \nThis walk is presented under a license from the City of Carpinteria. Due to the sensitivity of the habitat\, dogs are prohibited here. No smoking\, please. \nCopies of my book\, Medicinal Herbs of California\, will be on hand for sale and signing before and after the walk. \n \nREGISTRATION:\nPlease use the REGISTER button at top or bottom of this page to sign up before clicking on the PayPal link at the bottom of this page to secure your space.

SUMMARY:Oaktober Natural History Walk at Taft Nature Preserve
DESCRIPTION:Please note: This event is presented by the Conservation Endowment Fund (CEF)\, stewards of Taft Gardens & Nature Preserve as one of their “Oaktober” events. They are handling all registrations. To register for the event\, please visit this page or email taftgardensvisitors@gmail.com.  \nRegistrants will receive an email from CEF with detailed directions. Please do not try to find the venue by using other maps or GPS. Allow plenty of time to find the venue and to make your way up the miles-long driveway. \nPlease join me for a Natural History Walk at Taft Nature Preserve on Saturday\, October 28\, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.\, meeting at 9:45 a.m. We will explore trails through the wild parts of the property\, identify and discuss native plants\, and observe birds and animal tracks in the context of local ecology. This walk is part of the Taft Gardens & Nature Preserve “Oaktober” series focusing on the native oak trees on the property. I will give special attention to the Coast Live Oaks (Quercus agrifolia) and their important role as a cornerstone species in the local ecosystem. \nThis event is a perfect fit with my personal mission to open a space for people to connect with the natural world\, starting with the plant community. And Taft Gardens and Nature Preserve is an amazing place! In fact\, it was featured in an L. A. Times article on “The 16 Most Beautiful and Inviting Public Gardens in Southern California.” And it was recently included in the RedBook Magazine list of “The 12 Most Beautiful Botanical Gardens in the United States.” \nThe $35 cost includes a $10 donation to benefit the CEF\, the non-profit steward of Taft Gardens & Nature Preserve. The donation portion of the fee is tax-deductible. Space is limited so please register today by email to taftgardensvisitors@gmail.com. \nI will have my mobile bookshop onsite after the walk\, including my new book\, Medicinal Herbs of California\, and Milt McAuley’s classic Wildflowers of the Santa Monica Mountains which features every plant we will see. \nPlease plan on leaving dogs and cigarettes at home.

After that I will make every effort to fill your space (and I’m usually successful) but cannot guarantee.\nREGISTER\nOn Saturday evening\, October 28\, from 5:00 to 7:15 p.m.\, my wife Rondia and I will lead a Full Moon Sunset Nature Hike to a vista point above the Ojai Valley where we can watch the simultaneous sunset and full moonrise. The sun will set and the full moon will rise at about 6:20 p.m.\, giving us a nice window of time to take it all in. Following the hike is an optional “after-party” at the Ojai Valley Brewery. Read more about that below. \nRegistrants will receive instructions on where to park. From the trailhead we’ll gradually walk about 1.5 miles on a well used dirt road with gradual elevation gain to the vista point\, stopping along the way to meet some valuable native plants including: \nCalifornia Buckwheat\nBlack & Purple Sage\nCoastal Sagebrush\nToyon\nYucca\nPrickly-Pear\nand\, hopefully\, the fragrant night-blooming Brickellbush. \nAfter witnessing the setting of the sun and rising of the moon\, we’ll walk back to the trailhead by remaining daylight\, moonlight\, and flashlight\, returning to the trailhead at about 7:15. \nThe After-Party: Then at 7:30 p.m. you’re invited to join me and Rondia on Bryant Street at Ojai Valley Brewery’s heated outdoor dining area where brewmaster Jeremy Haffner and his staff will be pouring his amazing locally-sourced beers\, ales. stouts and non-alcoholic beverages. They’ll also have food and music! \nJeremy’s brews change with the seasons and reflect the plants of Ojai. Three staples you’re likely to find on his list any time of year are Sugar Bush IPA\, brewed with wild local Ojai “Sugar Bush” Sumac; White Pixie Ale\, brewed with Pixie tangerine zests and orchard blossoms; and an amazing Chaparral Ale flavored and bittered with White and Black Sage and local Sagebrush instead of the usual Hops. Jeremy describes it as “built to mimic the scent on Shelf Road.” That’s where we’ll be walking! Non-alcoholic offerings also change with the seasons and may include an Elderflower-Blackberry Spritzer. \nREGISTRATION INFO:\nThe cost for the hike is $35/person. Senior\, student and child discounts are available by request. Paid registrants will receive a confirmation email a few days prior to the event with all necessary info\, including what to bring\, weather forecast\, and directions to the trailhead. Afterwards\, they also will receive a follow-up email with a list of all plants and wildlife seen. \nNo dogs or smoking\, please. Light rain will not cancel. Heavy rain or solid chance of thunderstorm will. You will receive a refund if I need to cancel due to weather. \nPlease use the REGISTER button at top or bottom of this page to sign up before clicking on the PayPal link at the bottom of this page to secure your space.
