Natural History Wanderings

Come help us remove tamarisk trees, tree tobacco, and trees of heaven at the Panofsky-Wilson Preserve. These taxa are highly invasive and disrupt ecosystem processes within native California ecosystems, especially in riparian zones. This project will help restore the conservation value of Caliente Creek, which runs through the Preserve.

This hike in the high desert features diverse flora and fauna including native grasslands, oak/sycamore woodlands and if we are lucky, a glimpse of pronghorn in the Mojave flatlands.

Difficulty Level: Moderate 5 Miles.

*Because close-proximity travel is necessary, masks must be worn in the Conservancy’s vehicles on the way to/from the trailhead.
