Field Trip: Newell Open Space

Date: Friday March 13, 2015

Time: 8:00 AM

Weekly Friday trip (NSAS Event)

Details:

Leader: Murray Berner

Description: One more try at Newell Open Space Preserve, a hike up to the Newell Loop trail. By mid-way along, we will be seeing eagles, hawks and harriers. Various sparrows, jays, finches and woodpeckers. There will be items of both botanical and lepidopterial interest. I'm not sure if we'll actually cover the full 5-mile loop or just a significant section thereof.

Napa carpool leaves from the east side of Sweeney's sport shop in Riverpark shopping center at 8:00am. Riverpark is off Imola Ave between Jefferson and Coombs. On your own, the Newell parking lot is at the northern dead end of Newell Drive in American Canyon. From Hwy 29, turn east onto Donaldson Way at the ARCO station. Napa carpool will be there about 8:30. Do not forget to carry water. There is a restroom both at the parking lot and along the trail.
