Lyons to discuss 'three histories' of Anderson Marsh at July 9 nature walk

LOWER LAKE, Calif. – On Saturday, July 9, Dr. Harry Lyons, professor of Ecology at Yuba College, will lead the monthly nature walk at Anderson Marsh State Historic Park.

Dr. Lyons will present a walking-talking tour that highlights aspects of the “three histories”: American Indian, European settler and natural history.

Meet in front of the Ranch House at 7:45 a.m. for time to experience the early morning wildlife to be found in the Ranch House and Barn complex yard. The walk begins at 8 a.m.

Park docents Gae Henry and Henry Bornstein will lead a tour of the historic Ranch House immediately after the walk.

The Anderson Marsh Interpretive Association (AMIA) holds a monthly guided nature walk, followed by a Ranch House tour.

This summer, walks will be held on two upcoming Saturday mornings: July 9 and Aug. 13.

Anderson Marsh State Historic Park is located on Highway 53, between Lower Lake and Clearlake.
