Christopher Nyerges joined Herb Walks' Lanny Kaufer for an Acorn Processing Workshop at Euterpe Farms. He brought his seasoned crew of Enrique Villaseñor, Helen Sweany and James Ruther. Noted Ojai naturalist Bruce Vincent was also in attendance. A great time of learning and doing was had by all! Photos by Lanny Kaufer, Helen Sweany and James Ruther.

On the evening of the Vernal Equinox we hiked up Shelf Road on the Valley View Preserve above Ojai to see the rising of the full supermoon and the setting of the sun. Although we had a beautiful walk and saw a nice sunset, clouds on the eastern horizon obscured our view of the moonrise. It was a great walk, though, with a great group of people and lush surroundings from all the rain we've had this winter. Photos by Janeal Colbert and Susanne Lammot.

I took a hike up Matilija Creek with Roger House to survey the changes and regrowth in the canyon one year after the December 2017 fire.

I drove out Matilija Canyon Road and up Highway 33 on December 31, 2017, three weeks after the start of the Thomas Fire. This is what I saw.
