Description

Join Friends of Edgewood docents for a spring wildflower hike starting from the Clarkia Trailhead on Cañada Rd. at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve. Spring is the best time to experience Edgewood's extraordinary biodiversity! Discover what’s in bloom as we hike through Edgewood’s woodlands and grasslands. We will make frequent stops to take a closer at the wildflowers, as well as other interesting plants and animals we find along the way. We’ll cover about 3 miles, at a moderate pace. 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. There are no restrooms or water available at this trailhead. There is a porta-potty near the Sunset Trail entrance, a little less than a mile away. The only other restrooms and water are at the main entrance, near the picnic area next to 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. We will still hike in light showers, but heavy rain cancels this hike. Group size is very limited. Please cancel your reservation if you are unable to attend so others may have a chance to join us.
