Yup….it’s almost fall. You can tell by the sight of all the Goldenrod out on the trails. It’s actually in the daisy family and if you look close, Goldenrod is clusters of tiny tiny flowers that look like little yellow daisies. It’s a very important flower for bees and butterflies at the end of summer because it provides thick nectar and pollen that helps pollinators bulk up for winter. It’s like dessert for pollinators.

It’s also very popular with humans and now is the only time you can collect it. Native Americans used it for all kinds of ailments. All parts are edible, but most people make tea out of it. You can bring leaves and flowers to a boil then let steep for 10 minutes. You’ve got Goldenrod Tea good for sore throats, urinary tract issues, and more. It’s a sign that fall is almost here!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

The Historical Society is in need of some adult volunteers who would be willing to help out with this year’s Home Tour on Saturday September 13th. No special knowledge is needed but you will need to be able to stand (or sit) in one of the homes for a 6 hour shift (with breaks, of course).

One of the benefits of volunteering, is that you will get to tour the homes on Friday without all the visitors that will attend on Saturday. We would really appreciate your help. Please contact Nanci at 951-659-0575if you are interested. Thank you.
