Description

Join Friends of Edgewood docents for a hike starting from the Sylvan Trailhead at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve. Spring is coming! Enjoy early-blooming flowers, including warrior's plume, hound's tongue, and checker lilies. Learn about their place and partners in the woodland community. We will make frequent stops to take a closer at what is blooming now, as well as other interesting plants and animals we find along the way. We’ll cover about 3 miles, at a moderate pace. Elevation gain is approximately 400 feet. This hike is geared toward adults and older children interested in learning more about San Mateo County’s only natural preserve. Note that Edgewood’s many narrow trails cannot accommodate strollers. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water. Consider sunscreen, a hat, and snacks. Restrooms and water are available only at the picnic area near the Sylvan Trailhead. Please plan ahead. All participants, including children, must be registered individually and have approved the liability waiver through Eventbrite. Details on where to meet will be emailed to participants before the event. Group size is very limited. Please cancel your reservation if you are unable to attend so others may have a chance to join us. We will still hike in light showers, but heavy rain cancels this hike.
