Watson Woods Riparian Preserve – FOREVER PRESERVED Tour

Near Watson Lake, there is a rare and threatened forest type that is being protected and restored. A quiet visitor might encounter a pair of nesting common black hawks, a green-backed heron fishing the pond, a Mexican vole scurrying along runways under the grasses, or a common kingsnake winding its way through the branches of a toppled cottonwood. Forever Preserved participants will tour of the cottonwood/willow riparian gallery forest along Granite Creek and learn about the natural and human history of the area, ecological restoration efforts in the Preserve, and ways they can make a difference by taking action to protect Watson Woods Riparian Preserve – FOREVER! Michael Byrd, Executive Director for Prescott Creeks Preservation Association will guide the group.
