October's Glow at Lafferty Ranch

10/12/2024 09:00 AM - 12:00 PM PT

Description

Lafferty Ranch glows in the warm autumn light of October and the fruit from the vintage trees—apples, persimmons, figs and pears—starts to ripen. The heat of summer is gone. Join docents Colleen Barclay and Madeline Kellner for a leisurely hike on Saturday October 12 from 9-12 and learn about the human and natural history of this special property, owned by the city of Petaluma and managed by LandPaths. If you have poles bring them as there are a few steep spots. Please RSVP to hold your place.
