Due to the coronavirus, this walk is cancelled.
Join us for the upcoming Vernal Equinox Sunrise Walk at the Laguna de Santa Rosa March 21, 2020.
We are thrilled to have Merlin Schlumberger, an ISA Board Certified Master Arborist, join us for the Vernal Equinox sunrise walk. He is an extraordinary teacher and steward for the trees of our county. Merlin’s love of trees developed as a child, growing up in a forested village in the French Alps.
He teaches Arboriculture at Santa Rosa Junior College and tree biology classes to industry professionals, and grafting and pruning workshops. He has worked as the Orchard Manager at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center. Merlin holds a BA in Environmental Studies & Agroecology and Sociology from UCSC and a GIS certificate from Community College of San Francisco.

Tree-climbing arborist and bird lover Merlin Schlumberger gingerly returned five juvenile great horned owls to Sonoma Valley trees.
We will begin our early morning walk just before dawn. We will meet at 7:30 AM at the trailhead just before the Chevron gas station, at the Highway 12 entrance. We will leave promptly. This two-mile walk will take us to the pond and back.
