Early spring brings out so many wonders! Join environmental education docents Sarah Schoen, Carol Hankermeyer, Catherine Crawford-Swent, and Amy Rapport for a children’s focused adventure around Picchetti Ranch. Get ready to get down and look around at nature from a child's point of view and maybe get a little muddy. This leisurely-paced discovery walk is most appropriate for children aged 6-11 years. At the end of the walk, you have the option to enjoy your own picnic at the nearby tables. Bring layered clothing to prepare for unpredictable weather.

Where to Meet

Meet at the preserve parking lot on Montebello Road. From the intersection of I-280 and Foothill Expressway, go 3.5 miles southwest (toward the mountains) on Foothill Boulevard/Stevens Canyon Road.  Turn right on Montebello Rd.  The preserve is 0.5 miles up Montebello Rd. on the left.
