UPPER LAKE, Calif. – Put June 12 on your calendar for the date of the Lake County Land Trust’s annual spring fundraising event.

Once again Bernie and Lynne Butcher, owners of the Tallman Hotel and Blue Wing Blue Wing Restaurant in Upper Lake, have offered to host this fundraising event for the Land Trust.

The event will feature Lake County wines, hors d’oeuvres and live music and will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. with tickets costing $50 per person.

Reservations are required and can be made by calling 707-262-0707. Payment in advance is urged or payment can be taken at the gate to the garden. You can pay on line by going to the Land Trust’s Web site at www.lakecountylandtrust.org , click on the “Donate,” button and write “Spring Fundraiser donation,” in the comment section.

All funds raised at the annual spring event will support the Lake County Land Trust and its many projects in Lake County, including preservation of the Clear Lake shoreline and operation of the trust’s Rodman Preserve near Upper Lake and Rabbit Hill Park in Middletown.

The event will provide time to enjoy the company of fellow land trust supporters and to visit with Land Trust board members and hear updates to ongoing local projects.

The Lake County Land Trust is a local nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of open space and natural habitats of Lake County.
