Spring Time Tule!
March 22, 2008 (Saturday)

Over 200 people joined us at Tule Ponds to celebrate the spring season. They walked around the mystical wetlands and visited 5 exhibits. Adults and children learned how to grow native plants; how to keep our water ways in Fremont clean; why worms are important; how to identify tadpoles; and how to identify fresh water microorganisms. Children earned points with our nature passport game and took home nature prizes.

Other volunteers included Michael Pacheo, Shelty Long, Jeffrey Surban, Andrea Tong, Chioma Ajawara, CJ Ajawara, Andrea Valdez, Kevin Wong, and about 8 other students.
