It is said that a place feels like home when you can name the native trees and shrubs around you. Join Arvind Kumar and Stephen Rosenthal to learn about the trees and shrubs native to our area.
We will walk through a variety of native habitats: grassland, oak woodland, sage-chaparral scrub and riparian. Expect to see a variety of oaks, bay laurel, madrone, bigberry manzanita, toyon, coffeeberry, buckeye, holly- leaved cherry and snowberry. Trail vista points offer spectacular views of the Diablo Range and Mt. Hamilton. Beginners interested in plant identification are welcome.
Bring a hat, water, and a bag lunch. Dress in layers and appropriately for late fall weather. Heavy rain cancels. We’ll cover 4.3 miles with 500’ of elevation gain.
Space is limited. Please RSVP through the CNPS SCV Meetup site: www.meetup.com/California- Native-Plant-Society-Santa- Clara-Valley-Chapter.
