Join Docent Naturalists Nick Yatsko and Jessica Kolla as you wander the Alma and Redwood Springs trails. This moderately-paced hike will take you through a variety of habitats while noticing ways in which humans have used the land and how nature is reclaiming those spaces.

Where to Meet

(From southbound Hwy. 17, exit the highway and go under an overpass; road will curve right to a stop sign at Bear Creek Rd., turn left. From northbound Hwy. 17 exit highway and cross the highway via the overpass on to Bear Creek Rd.) Travel 1.0 mile from Hwy. 17 on Bear Creek Rd., as road curves left there will be a pedestrian crosswalk, turn left into the parking lot immediately after the crosswalk.
