Bring on the rain! The wet season has arrived at Mather, with
more rain ahead in the forecast. The parched grasslands soaked up
the rain like a giant sponge these past few weeks. Although the
water table is still hidden beneath the soil’s surface, the
depressions of the rolling prairie are bright green with
sprouting vegetation. A world of tiny critters is waiting to
awaken. During the wet phase the vernal pools host dozens of
species of aquatic invertebrates, including the famous Fairy
Shrimp and Tadpole Shrimp.
Elementary Field Trip sign-ups will begin on September 24, 2019 at 7:30 AM for teachers who have received an invitation to reserve their field trip date.
