For years, the Watsonville Wetlands Watch has been planting native plants as part of an ongoing effort to restore habitat adjacent to the sloughs. Most of these native plants were started in our greenhouse or seed farm. On Saturday, June 14, WWW Restoration Specialist and native plant expert John Pritchard and WWW board member Kris Beall will lead a tour of our greenhouse and select restoration sites for an up-close look at wetland and grassland native plants and habitats. Participants will get to see a great selection of common and rare native plants in bloom in parts of the slough system not open to the public.
The tour starts at 10 a.m. Meet at the Wetlands Educational Resource Center (map/directions). The tour is free, but you must register by noon on Friday, June 13 by clicking here. For more information, call or email Kathy Fieberling, 831-345-1226, kathy@watsonvillewetlandswatch.org.
