To celebrate Pepperwood's 20th anniversary, we are joined by esteemed community members Steve and Linda Barnhart, who share their extensive involvement with Pepperwood over the years. Steve discusses the significance of oak woodlands and his academic research on local oak species, while Linda highlights the history of the Pepperwood Stewards training course, which led to the establishment of the California Naturalist (CalNat) certification course. To experience the CalNat course for yourself, visit the UC Environmental Stewards website or look for upcoming courses at Pepperwood’s Classes and Events page .
