June 14: Ranchlands to Parklands: Livestock ranchers in the 20th century had to be quite resourceful in order to wrest a living from the Cuyamaca Mountains. We’ll spend some time on two former ranches—the Tulloch and the Lucky 5—that have recently been added to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, and learn about some of the ways early settlers were able to overcome adversity and recycle materials at hand to build their lives here. See how livestock grazing leaves its legacy on the landscape. Info - Anza Borrego Foundation, Tel: (760) 767-0446 or (760) 767-4063
