Event Details

Black Lake is a rare and ecologically significant wetland in Adobe Valley, designated as an Important Bird Area. This unique alkali lake supports a remarkable diversity of flora and fauna, providing a crucial breeding ground for dozens of migratory bird species and a vital water source for pronghorn, mule deer, Great Basin spadefoot toads, and more. Thanks to a generous land donation in 2014, Eastern Sierra Land Trust (ESLT) now stewards Black Lake Preserve to protect its rich biodiversity.

Join ESLT staff for an early-morning guided walk through this protected wetland and alkali meadow. Along the way, we’ll observe rare native plants, waterfowl, shorebirds, and other sagebrush-dwelling species. ESLT will provide two spotting scopes, but additional scopes are welcome. Please bring water, snacks, sunscreen, and binoculars if you have them.
