Oaks are a keystone species for the ecosystem that supports all life including ours. Wildlife such as birds and many insects depend on oaks for food and shelter. Join Docent Naturalists Susan Bernhard, Noa Doitel, Ann Reisenauer, and Sabra Abraham for a leisurely-paced trek on the White Oak Trail where you’ll learn to identify several California oaks by their leaves, acorns, and galls. You’ll return along the canyon carved by Stevens Creek on the Nature Trail. We’ll share a snack at the top of the hill after completing the loop.
Meet at the Monte Bello Parking Area on Page Mill Road (across from Los Trancos Preserve), 7 miles west of I-280 or 1.5 miles east of Skyline Boulevard. Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 35 minutes travel time.
