SUMMARY:Dylan Layfield: Vascular Flora of Sand Canyon
DESCRIPTION:Dylan Layfield will give a presentation on the “Vascular Flora of Sand Canyon”. This canyon is located to the north of Grapevine Canyon and south of No Name Canyon. Sand Canyon has diverse plant species due to its long stretches of continuous water in both the Main Fork and South Fork of the canyon. In addition\, elevations ranging from 2\,800 ft to 7\,989 ft allow for unique transition zones between the Mojave Desert\, the Great Basin\, and the Sierra Nevada. Sand Canyon is one of the larger and less-traveled canyons in the eastern Owens Peak Wilderness. \nAs an avid hiker and explorer\, Dylan put this talent to use in the extensive Sand Canyon watershed\, where he began his independent floristic project in 2020. The plants in this area of the Owens Peak Wilderness are not well documented\, with most collections concentrated near the base of the canyon and on the northeastern aspects of Spanish Needle. Dylan’s presentation covers the history of Sand Canyon\, previous collections\, and some of his favorite plants growing there. \nDylan graduated from Cal Poly Humboldt with a BS in Environmental Science and Management (emphasis in ecological restoration). He became extremely interested in plants and soils during his time at Humboldt and seasonal jobs with the Forest Service. Currently\, Dylan works as a Natural Resources Specialist on NAWS China Lake\, where he has spent many hours studying\, cataloguing\, managing\, and remediating ecosystems for native plants and animal species such as the Joshua tree and the federally listed Inyo California Towhee.

SUMMARY:Children’s Hour: Butterflies
DESCRIPTION:Why wouldn’t the butterfly go to the dance? It was a moth ball.Why did the kid throw butter out the window? He wanted to see butter fly. \nBut seriously\, the docents of Maturango Museum would like to invite families and young children to our “Butterflies; Loved by Flowers and Children” program. This free event will be full of your favorite stories about butterflies\, as well as action songs\, and a fun\, child-friendly craft. We will be exploring exhibits and butterfly science at the Discovery Table. \nWe will have a butterfly backdrop set up so families can take colorful photos. \nMore information about Children’s Hour can be found on www.Maturango.org or by calling 760-375-6900. \n“If you smile when you see a butterfly\, you have happiness in your soul.”-Diane Cooper
