An epic story unfolding in slow motion, the forests of Limantour Ridge provide the fascinating backdrop for this day of short hikes.
Saturday, October 5 · 11am - 4pm PDT
Location: Red Barn, 75 Bear Valley Road Point Reyes Station, CA 94956
Spend the afternoon with the arboreal residents of Inverness Ridge. Whether you already recognize them or all you see is "green,” you can polish your plant identification skills, discover how trees actually work, and learn some interesting facts about each species.
We'll gather at the Red Barn, near Bear Valley Visitor Center, to go over plant anatomy with the help of fresh samples. Next, we'll head into the field to learn about the different tree communities at several locations around Inverness Ridge.
Each stop will have a short hike at a "botanizer's pace" (slow), where you can apply new knowledge, see tree biology in action, and take in the interconnections between each species.
