Loma Alta Preserve
Tuesday, April 5, 2022, 10am – 2pm

This public trail easement on the north slope of Loma Alta is always a fantastic destination for both wildflowers and birds. The serpentine habitat near the beginning of the road hosts a very diverse and colorful bloom. We'll identify the species found here, including a few rare plants. This area is also one of the best places to see birds such as grasshopper sparrows and horned larks. This walk is a steady climb up to the ridge and then back down.

We request that no pets (except service animals) attend. Remember to bring a lunch and binoculars if you have them. Adverse weather may cancel. Check the calendar or call (415) 473-6086 after 8 AM on the day of the event to hear a recorded message if canceled.

Registration is not required. Save time on the day of the event by signing in now. For more information, contact Naturalist Shannon.

Directions: Meet at the gate to Loma Alta Fire Rd on Lucas Valley Rd in San Rafael., From Hwy 101 in San Rafael, take the Lucas Valley Rd west exit, approximately 5.5 miles. Look for the big rock and roadside parking. Please don't make a U-turn at the top. Drive beyond the crest and turn around in the big driveway just down the hill.
