In order to learn about the vegetation located in the reserve, on June 23 and 24 we received the visit of 19 members of the groups of the Baja California chapter of the California Native Plant Society, San Diego chapter of the California Native Plant Society, and the Native Plants Society of Southern California led by our associated researcher, Sula Vanderplank.
The first day and before the sunset, the group installed the tents in front of the ocean and went on a tour where they appreciated different plants of the area like the Dudleya anthonyi, an endemic species of the region. At the end of this tour they enjoyed a pleasant time in front of the campfire.
On Sunday morning, the excursion towards the Sudoeste volcano started, a tour of approximately one hour, where Sula told them about the environmental value of the region, as well as the most important plants in the area. Upon reaching the top of the volcano, everyone was able to admire the 360-degrees look at the landscape of BahÃa False and the Punta Mazo Nature Reserve.
When they came back, a ceviche with fresh fish and oysters from the bay waited them in the camp, it was prepared by our friend Guti a member of the La Chorera community. During this break we took the opportunity to talk about the conservation projects of Terra Peninsular and with a Mediterranews magazine in hand we said goodbye to this pleasant visit.
