From the south entrance of Los Jilgueros (off Mission), if you head along the western path, you’ll see a meadow full of flags. From Susan Liebes of Fallbrook Land Conservancy:
The flags each mark a native plant that was planted by a 5th grader in our Environmental Education Program this January/February. The flags help us locate each plant as we are weeding the area since the invasive weeds grow faster than the natives at first! This area is one of the last parts of the 46 acre Los Jilgueros Preserve to be restored from degraded farmland to native habitat, so it’s very exciting to see the seedlings starting to grow and bloom!
