NABS - Laguna wetlands preserve visit #1

For my Botany 60 class Natural Area Botanical Study (or NABS) I studied the Laguna wetlands preserve off of highway 12. The whole watershed of the Laguna is 250 square miles. The area that we visited was probably only about 40 acres of land. This included vast grassland dotted with oaks, elderberries, and ash trees; oak woodland, riparian habitat, and small bodies of water connected by creeks. We also walked along the Laguna de Santa Rosa which was surrounded by willows and spreading rush.
