LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — The Lake County Land Trust’s Rodman Preserve at 6350 Westlake Drive near Upper Lake is continuing to welcome visitors on Saturdays but hours have changed from 9 a.m. to noon to 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Volunteers have noticed that most people prefer arriving later in the day so an effort is being made to accommodate them.

The preserve offers a moderate one and a half mile walk where visitors will see birdlife and even some mammals like foxes and coyotes.

A volunteer will open the gate at 10 a.m. and visitors are asked to sign in before embarking on a pleasant morning walk.

The nature center remains closed due to COVID-19 concerns but visitors are welcome to enjoy the walk and the open air back porch.

Go to the Lake County Land Trust website for more information and don’t mistake the Rodman Preserve for the Rodman Slough County Park which is down the road from the Preserve on the Nice/Lucerne cutoff.
