How often do we remember to say “I appreciate you” to the non-human natural world amid our hectic day-to-day lives? Ring in the month of harvest and giving thanks on this moderately-paced, thoughtful and inspiring hike in Midpen’s most popular preserve. Interpretive Specialist Katie Renz and Docent Naturalists Catherine Xun, Annette Herz, and Katie Wilson will lead a couple of activities and discussions to get us in the benevolent spirit of the season. Bring a lunch, a journal or blank paper, something to write with, and, if you wish, a poem to share relevant to the season or theme.
Meet near the restroom at the bottom of the hill in the preserve parking lot farthest to the right. From I-280, take Foothill Boulevard south and turn right almost immediately onto Cristo Rey Drive. Continue about 1 mile, veer right around the traffic circle, and turn left into the park. After entering the preserve, turn right and drive approximately 0.3 miles to Lot 6.
