Spring has arrived, and with it wildflowers. This year the Lassen National Forest will be “Celebrating Wildflowers” from May 20th – 23rd to highlight local native flowering plants.
Throughout the week, the Forest will promote the importance of native plant conservation, with an emphasis on the biological, aesthetic, and economic value of these plants.

• Forest Supervisor’s Office 2550 Riverside Dr., Susanville (530) 257-2151
