Free wildflower slideshow at LTCC

LTCC faculty member Lisa Berry will present photos of wildflowers taken in the lake Tahoe basin.

Everyone is invited to this free event on September 12 from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Board Room in the library building.

According to Berry, a member of the English Department, wildflowers could be found throughout the Tahoe Basin this summer, despite the lack of winter snow and the ongoing drought in our state. “I saw and photographed some fabulous species this season, including some new ones for me, like Marsh and California Skullcap, Western Pasque Flower, Fringed Grass-of-Parnassus, and Pygmy Lewisia. Even though Desolation Wilderness, Carson Pass, and Monitor Pass didn't get the snowpack they usually do, I was impressed by how many flowers were especially vivid, as if intent on making themselves seen,” says Berry.

This free wildflower event is sponsored by the LTCC Library and the California Native Plant Society. For more information, please contact Lisa Berry by email at Berry@ltcc.edu.
