The Crest in the Community
Latinx Community Day
The Crest had the joy of hosting a Latinx Community Day in collaboration with Vesper Meadow and Coalición Fortaleza. We began with a vibrant plant ID walk through the blooming meadows of Vesper, where we spotted wildflowers in full color and springtime fungi hiding in the shade! The day wrapped up at Willow-Witt Ranch, where we shared smiles and laughter meeting the goats, chickens and our honorary goose! It was a gorgeous day full of connection, celebration, and meaningful time spent in nature. We’re so grateful to our partners and community for making it such a special experience!

Camas
(Camassia-Quamas)
Camassia quamash in is bloom at Willow-Witt Ranch! Look for it at the edges of the Ranch’s forested areas and and wet meadows. It is a perennial herb native to western North America in large areas of southern Canada and the northwestern United States.
Sandhill Cranes
(Antigone canadensis)
These two treated us with a wonderful dance! We just had to mention them again. Look for them in the meadows and wetlands as they forage and prepare for nesting, one of many seasonal rhythms that make spring and summer so rich with life on the land!
