Register to attend (registration is required to join the meeting)

Carol Witham will help us explore vernal pools’ short-lived, weird-looking, fascinating fauna that evolved millions of years ago, and the dazzling swaths of tens of thousands of tiny flowers that change from week to week through a two- to three-month “season.” This tour of California vernal pools will answer questions such as “what makes a vernal pool?” and “why are they found almost nowhere but California?” as we explore vernal pools from throughout the state.
