Hi, Folks, The American River Parkway Foundation has extended the cancellation at least through April of all group volunteer activities. So- It looks like UUSS’s adopted mile will have to go without our TLC for another month. There will be no organized cleanup on Saturday, April 11. If you do go for a walk on

Hi, Folks, I guess I’m a little jealous of river otters right now.  They’ve always had to wash their hands a lot, but they have no need of social distancing, they don’t have to wear face masks, they still go out for breakfast, lunch and dinner if they wish, and they’re still just as playful

Hi, Folks, I get excited when there’s a chance to get close enough to wood ducks to make a pleasing image. I’ve always found this beautiful species to be wary and ready to hide. By sitting patiently, quietly, unmoving by the pond at Effie Yeaw Nature Center, this group of three males and two females

Hi, Folks, Happy California Poppy Day! Since 1903, the California poppy, Eschscholzia californica, has been the official state flower of California; and, since 1996, April 6 of each year has been designated California Poppy Day. Last Tuesday, a walk upstream from the Sarah Court access to the American River brought the peaceful vantage point in
