The annual Spring Medicine Walk was held June 19, 2010 at the Wild Magnolia Land Trust.
About 40 people were in attendance of diverse ethnic backgrounds. After ceremonies to reconnect to Mother Earth, a delicious potluck meal was enjoyed by all.
Sun Hawk explained medicinal uses of many of the plants of the Land Trust and how to identify them. In mid afternoon hiked to Beech Creek and enjoyed a refreshing splash in the water.

Trails at Wild Magnolia are now marked with newly made trail signs. Ixchel Trail is marked from the clearing, with the distance indicated to Fairy Pond. Where Beech Creek Trail branches from Ixchel Trail a sign notes the distance to the creek, and La Salsa Trail is marked at both ends, where it splits from Beech Creek Trail and from Ixchel Trail, also with distances indicated.
The signs with routed lettering are carved in eastern redcedar lumber, processed from a fallen tree, made and donated by volunteer Olin Karch. Vista volunteers Janis Walters and Steven Wilgus installed the new signs.
