Natural History Wanderings

I was reminded  by a post on Where to Photograph in California (Calflora)  that North Table Mountain Ecological Preserve now requires a fee pass.  One cannot be purchased on site.

They can be bought on the internet for a specific day and printed out, or purchased wherever hunting and fishing licenses are sold. The lands pass costs $4.32 for one day, per person. Annual passes are $25.10. Children 15 and younger aren’t required to have passes.

People with hunting or fishing licenses don’t have to pay the fee but must carry the license with them when they hike, though they aren’t hunting or fishing.

For more information on the State Lands Pass program, which took effect Jan. 1, go to www.wildlife.ca.gov/licensing/lands-pass.
