Loch Lomond Recreation Area: Native Flora Walk

May’s interpretive event at Loch Lomond Recreation Area will feature local botanist Andy Werner, who will discuss native plant species found in the Newell Creek watershed. This watershed hosts a variety of vegetative communities ranging from chaparral to redwood forest.

Attendance is limited to 25 people and is offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

The Loch Lomond Recreation Area is a 180-acre reservoir and part of the 2,800-acre watershed land holdings that the City of Santa Cruz Water Department manages in the Newell Creek watershed. It is open daily from late March through mid-October when the park closes for the season.
