Saturday April 25th - Native Plants at the Rosemont Preserve and In Your Garden

We are proud to announce our next docent-led tour on Saturday, April 25th, 9am-12pm. Roger Klemm will lead us on a walk focusing on native plants on the Rosemont Preserve.

Roger Klemm is a software engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and has been involved with various community groups promoting conservation and environmentally sensible landscaping for over 20 years. He has renovated community and school gardens, planted trees in local parks, and is introducing native plants on the campus where he works, also known as “guerilla gardening”. He is involved with the eradication of invasive exotic plants in the Angeles National Forest and at the Rosemont Preserve, and is spearheading the renovation of a community entrance garden at Sunland Boulevard and the 210 freeway in Sunland. Roger has a wealth of real-life knowledge of native plants, both where and how they grow in the wild, and how they can grace our cultivated landscapes.

The Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain link fence. As street parking is limited, please park at Two Strike Park. Wear strudy shoes for walking the trail.

This event is free to the public and suitable for all ages, no reservations required. Rain cancels event. Sorry, no pets please.
