Bat Talk with Bethany Schulze and final Pond Cleanup of 2025 Year!

Lompico Pond (officially “Lake Lompico” aka “Guacamole Pond”) and the surrounding redwoods forest area has become home to many types of BATS.

So, for our Lompico Pond Restoration Project (LPRP) workday Saturday October 25th 10am-Noon, we will have Bat expert Bethany Schulze as guest speaker re: bats.

This will be our final volunteer group workday of the 2025 year as we are off for the holidays. We will resume workdays on the 4th Saturday in January 2026

Our pond is looking more beautiful than ever with a new turtle raft, turtle nest, and the wonderful restoration work of our volunteers. Below are some photos from this summer’s workdays. We are expecting the turtle eggs to hatch any day now!

The water in the pond looks cleaner and there is a now consistently a nice reflection when the sun is out, but please realize the water is not safe to drink or swim in for pets especially in Autumn as toxic algae other contaminants are present.


Our monthly workday is the 4th Saturday of the month January-October, 10am-Noon for the Lompico Pond Restoration (and Demonstration) Project.
