Also known as “little apples,” manzanita shrubs are native to the Santa Rosa area, and they will be the stars of a walking workshop along the trails at Sugarloaf Ridge State Park.
Docent Dana Glei will be leading a guided hike at the park that will hunt for manzanitas in the wild. The route will be two miles long, and the meet-up point will be the White Barn.
Attendees will find out how these plants are extremely important to their ecosystems, providing food and shelter for birds, insects, and other creatures. They will also learn how to incorporate them into their own home landscape so that they can appreciate their leaves, flowers, and the wildlife they attract.
Participants are advised to dress in layers, and admission starts at $5. The event may need to be cancelled in the event of heavy rain.
A guided walk may provide a fun opportunity to learn about nature up close and personal. A brochure printing company will be happy to prepare materials to hand out during a wildlife hike that provide information about the plants and animals likely to appear along the way.
This introduction to manzanitas and how they can invite wildlife into a yard will be hitting the trails at Sugarloaf State Park this Sunday, February 2. It will depart at 9:00 am.
