Kern CNPS Annual Pot Luck 1pm at the home of Eva & Gordon Nipp. (contact Lucy or the webmaster for location info)

SPEAKER: Mike Stockton of the Bitter Creek Wildlife Refuge, USFAWS. Mike will bring us up to date on the status of the refuge established to provide habitat for California Condors. Those of you have been there know what a gorgeous place it is, located between the Carrizo Plain and Wind Wolves Preserve. It is a connecting link for Condors from the Carrizo to the Tejon Ranch, and on into the Sierra Nevada. Many other native species use this land also. Mike and the USFAWS hope to restore the land to a native flora in the future.

The Nipps have again graciously agreed to host our Potluck Dinner, for which we thank them. Please join us for our annual social event, and bring your favorite dish/es to share. We have scheduled this event in the afternoon so that our members who live outside of Bakersfield can carpool, attend, and start home before dark. Hope to see you there!
