Calaveras Big Trees State Park
The warm fall weekend gave us perfect weather for camping at Calaveras Big Trees State Park this weekend. We presented the iNaturalist class for a new class of California Naturalists, but all in all probably learned more than them. Several of the CalNat students were docents at Calaveras Big Trees, so they knew all the details about the Giant Sequioas in the park, and a lot of information about the other trees and plants found there. It was a wonderful experience.
