Mosquitoes are often annoying and sometimes can be deadly.

Medical entomologist-geneticist Geoffrey Attardo, associate professor, UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology, will discuss the risks of mosquito-borne diseases in California at a free seminar sponsored by the Center for Land-Based Learning (CLBL) on “Natural Mosquito Control” on Wednesday, May 15.

This is the wetland area in Cache Creek conservatory which is adjacent to the Tending and Gathering Garden. Runoff from the Gordon Slough floods the wetland area and is a habitat to plants and animals native to Northern California. The islands in the wetland are populated with tule, a hardstem bulrush that provides shelter to an array of wildlife.
