"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or wildflowers in spring - these are". 
~ John Burroughs

Join us on a walk and view the native richly colored expanse of spring wildflowers in Fairfax's wild trails, which are immensely diverse and awe-inspiring in their beauty. April is excellent for wildflowers in Marin.  The Deer Park area is no exception.  We will probably see Baby Blue Eyes, Douglas Iris, some Yerba Buena and some Milk Maids fading away.  We will also see Oak Trees, Redwoods, and Bay Laurel.  The creek in Corte Madera watershed should be running, and there will be some picturesque views. This local flora defines our landscape and offer Fairfaxian's a sense of place, pride and stability.

This walk is in collaboration with The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) and their mission is to protect California's native plant heritage and preserve it for future generations. 

This walk will be lead by Dabney Smith, she is a retired park ranger who worked for Santa Clara County Parks in the Santa Cruz Mountains.  Dabney spent her childhood exploring the trials around San Anselmo and Fairfax.  She is a long time Native Plant enthusiast and looks forward to seeing what wildflowers spring will bring.
