NABS - Laguna wetlands preserve visit #2

The Laguna de Santa Rosa is the second largest freshwater marsh in Northern California. Originally the Laguna was filled with oak woodland; from forests to open grassland. But settlers tore down trees to make way for wheat fields. Native Americans also had an effect on the vegetation. They would set fire to the grassland to dig up roots. Currently we are trying to restore the Laguna to its former glory by planting new oak trees such as valley oak and blue oak. A few things are currently flowering including English plantain, curly dock, and wild radish.
