What are those flowers blooming along the road, in the rice fields, or out in the canals in the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area (YBWA)? Are they native plants, or introduced? There are many different plant habitats in the YBWA, and they support a wide range of flowering plants. This presentation will help you identify many of the plants that visitors are likely to come across while on foot or in a car. We’ll help you identify the good, the bad, the ugly, and even the poisonous ones. There are over 500 species plants there, and we will focus on those that you’ll most commonly see. It’s not just birds out there!
