Agate Desert Preserve Wildflowers

Description

Meet the charismatic and itty-bitty flora of the Agate Desert Preserve with Botanist and Stewardship Director, Kristi Mergenthaler. We will soak in the beauty of rings, patches, and ribbons of colorful flowers and look for federally endangered and other rare flowers that grow in drying vernal pools. This is a unique preserve of vernal pool-mounded prairie surrounded by industrial and grazing land.
