March 27, 2008 — It was a cold, breezy morning when ten PWA docents arrived at the Preserve and were met by Kate, Jepson Prairie docent coordinator, and Jim.  These two very knowledgeable docents of fauna and flora led the group on a three-hour adventure to the vernal pools, teeming with descendents of ancestral invertebrates, and wildflowers.  After hands-on activities at the vernal pools, the group was led over the prairie to view the mounds and native bunch grasses.  Later, some of the docents met for lunch at Baker’s Square in Dixon.
