Native Plant guided hike
Join us on a 1-2 mile ambassador-led native-plant walk at Harmon Canyon Preserve. Expect to take 15 minutes at the beginning to meet each other and learn some basic plant biology before we start getting out there! As we walk through the preserve together, we will stop often to look at some cool species around us, so don't come expecting to break a sweat. Please bring water and sun protection. Optional: consider downloading Seek by iNaturalist beforehand (an app that can help you identify plants) to help you get a swing of identifying things.
We will be covering some basic plant biology, what to look for when it comes to identifying plants, and learn about some awesome species you'll see around Ventura County.
After this guided walk, you will be able to: Identify and name (at least) three local species, distinguish between native and non-native plant species found along the trail, and describe the unique characteristics and adaptations of three specific native plant species encountered during the hike.
