LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Clear Lake Trowel and Trellis Garden Club recently was pleased to have naturalist photographer Brad Barnwell speak about birding at Rodman Slough and other areas around Lake County.

As a thank you for his informative talk, he was presented with a Penny Pines Plantation which will help with the reforestation efforts in the Mendocino National Forest. Approximately 350 seedlings will be planted in his honor.

Club members are looking forward to the fall publication of Barnwell's book about birds of Lake County.

And a very surprised Ann Blue, Penny Pines Chairman, was given a Penny Pines certificate. Ann has put a lot of time and energy to see that other members received this award and now the club also gave her this honor.
