Black Star Canyon
August 16, 2007

Female velvet ant does her thing just before Black Star Pipe Gate.

Beautiful tarantula on Black Star Canyon Road, 1/6th of mile past pipe gate!

Owner of Edwards Ranch recently destroyed extensive slope by grading. Valuable scrub and chaparral habitat along with fragile top soil was removed. The beauty and biological integrity of this area has been lost. Erosion will be an ongoing challenge for this landowner.
