If you make it to the waterfall at the back of the preserve, I will give you 5 extra points for a photo of it.

This is the tarantula I found on my walk through the preserve. I posted it here as a reminder that this is a nature preserve, and we do have lots of creepy crawlies in it, so if you are afraid of them, this might not be the assignment for you.

This is what MUSTARD looks like now in the fall. This is an example of White Sage and Chamise

The photos below are from the kiosk at the preserve. These are to give you an idea of what to look for.
