Planting Oak Trees at Caspers Wilderness Park

We began by constructing gopher baskets, so that our little oak trees would have a better chance at survival!



Nicholas and a new friend visited each oak, and wrote down the GPS coordinates of each, so we can monitor them and know which survived and which did not!

Theres always time to have a little fun - as long as we don't step on any native plants!

Buy Nothing Day Hike

Back to Natives was thrilled to have Bob Allen along! Mr Allen is SO knowledgeable, and luckily he was willing to share some of his knowledge with us along the trail.

Native American Plant Uses Hike

Lori led participants down Serrano Creek - and into the past - to learn about the native plants and the ways the Tongva and Acjachemen once used them to survive.

Upon our retun Reggie took a few participants on a quick tour of the lake Forest Nature Park, to see the ways native plants are used there in the landscaping. This picture shows datura in the foreground...

and here is prickly pear and coffeeberry in fruit...

Guests enjoyed a sampling of native foods...
