Environment Events in Los Gatos

Join POST on a guided hike in one of most recently-established open space preserves in the Bay area. A POST volunteer will share a few words about POST's decades of conservation success before the hiking group explores a strenuous but mostly shaded 5.4 mile hike with ~900 feet of elevation gain. In one of the county's best preserved, second-growth coastal redwood forests, we'll also pass extensive areas of Douglas fir and oak woodland, as well as a few remaining old-growth redwoods. The proximity to the San Andreas fault results in a unique geology and landscape, while there are many remnants of a rich cultural history of the region. The park is also home to a wide variety of mammals, birds and reptiles, some of which might be spotted along the trails.
