Loupe Loop: Sausal Pond

August 31, 2024
9:00 am - 11:00 am
Windy Hill Preserve
Approximate Total Miles
1.25

Micro-observers young and old are invited to attend this leisurely-paced stroll around Sausal Pond with Docent Naturalists Frances Reneau and Lyle Rice to investigate the multitude of mini-organisms hiding around its edge. The focus is on exploration and questioning, not identification. If you have a 10X loupe, please bring it, though a few will be provided. Children aged six and above welcome.

Where to Meet

The Lower Windy Hill Parking Area at the lower portion of the preserve is located on Portola Road. Please note: This parking lot fills quickly. Please do not park on Portola Road: parking is strictly enforced.

To ensure your experience on a docent naturalist outing is enjoyable please review these activity guidelines.

If your activity requires registration, please be sure to cancel your reservation (from your confirmation email) if you are no longer able to attend so others can participate.

After your participation on a guided activity please share your feedback — your input is meaningful to our volunteers and program staff – thank you!
