Vernal Pools Flower Walks
Splash offers four Vernal Pool Public Walks in Spring each year. Join us as we highlight the many critters and/or flowers in Mather Field!
As the Spring sun warms the earth and the pools evaporates, the wet phase gives way to the flower phase. During the month of April, flowers bloom in an ever-changing abundance of colorful rings and patches. Each pool has its own assortment of flowers depending upon the soil, hydrology and many factors we don’t yet understand. Come explore the blooming vernal pools with us!

We will be returning to Arcade Creek at Stock Ranch Nature Preserve & Van Maren Park, an area last visited in February by the wonderful steward of this area Lilia Hogan and our event partner, Republic Services.There will be water in the creek, some small pools as well as deeper sections, so both boots and waders will be useful. It will be medium to difficult cleanup within the creek channel for those who want a challenge. Lots of easy trash pickins’ found along the top bank for those who prefer a less strenuous cleanup. Once the piles are made, we will haul everything to the dumpster provided by Republic Services (thank you!).We will park along Stockton Ranch Road, near Aspen Gardens Way and walking to the creek. Please park on the Park side of the road, where street parking is allowed.All minors will need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the cleanup and waivers will need to be signed if you have not volunteered with us before.As with all events shared on our Page, participation is performed solely at your own risk.
