Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Boat Tour to the Tule Wilderness
May 22, 2008

This trip is the last day of a three-day Wetland Plants of the Sacramento Valley and Lower Foothill Region workshop, but stands alone as a one-day workshop as well. In other words, you are welcome to sign up for the three-day workshop (class limit 20) or the one-day boat and nursery tour (class limit 45).

On this 3- 4 hour boat trip we will visit remnant, pre-Gold Rush, in-channel islands and several plant communities including riparian forests and tule wetlands. Jeff will discuss the geologic history of the Delta and Central Valley landscape and the origins of different groups of plants in the Delta. Upon return, we will take a willow walk through a long arcade with five species of willows to learn character differences in all seasons. Jeff will give us a tour of Hartland Nursery, where they propagate many species for revegetation and mitigation projects. This is a chance to see some many wetland species up close and labeled.
