Description
Vernal Pool In Bloom
 

The James K. Herbert Wetland Prairie Preserve is just a small piece of a once extensive wetland prairie. It provides a refuge for owls that live underground, toads that estivate (like hibernation) in the soil, whimbrels flocks that visit as they migrate between Argentina and Alaska, and flowers that bloom in bright displays of magenta, yellow, gold, violet, white and pink.

Please visit the Sequoia Riverlands Trust website for a map.

Note: This nature preserve is not yet regularly open to the public. Check our online calendar or sign up for our e-newsletter to learn about public programs and special events at James K. Herbert Wetland Prairie Preserve.
