Please note the meeting location has been changed from the main parking area at El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve to the Skeggs Point Parking Area.
Valentines Day is just around the corner and, not coincidentally, many animals act on their "spring feelings" around the same time. Docent Naturalists Annette Herz, An Scharlaken, Jan Hintermeister, and Melissa Hero will explore the different adaptations nature deploys for procreation as you hike along the Fir and Tafoni trails. Some species’ tactics will likely be familiar to you while other species' will be very, very different! Bring a lunch to enjoy and be prepared for wintery redwood temperatures. (Notes: Please evaluate if this guided activity is appropriate for your child due to the content being about mating and procreation; heavy fog or light rain will not cancel this hike.)
Meet at the Caltrans Skeggs Point Parking Area on the east side of Skyline Boulevard, about 4 miles north of La Honda Road (Highway 84) and 1.5 miles south of Kings Mountain Road. Please note that Caltrans prohibits a left turn into the parking lot when approaching from the north along Skyline Blvd.
