A Special Summer Hike: All About Seeds.

July 20 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Learn more about seeds and how they disperse on this docent guided hike starting up the Sylvan Trail. Tickets required for all participants.

Seeds can be extremely clever! Join Friends of Edgewood docents for a free summer hike at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve. We’ll be taking a close look at interesting seed forms and learn about the different (and often clever) ways seeds get dispersed.

We’ll cover about 3 miles, at a moderate pace and make frequent stops to take a closer look at examples of seeds. Elevation gain is approximately 400 feet. This hike is geared toward adults and older children interested in learning more about plants found in San Mateo County’s only natural preserve.

Wear sturdy shoes and bring water. Consider sunscreen, a hat, and snacks. Restrooms and water are available only at the picnic area near the Sylvan Trailhead. Please plan ahead. Note that Edgewood’s many narrow trails cannot accommodate strollers.

All participants, including children, must be registered individually and have approved the liability waiver through Eventbrite. Details on where to meet will be emailed to participants before the event.

We will still hike in light showers, but heavy rain cancels this hike.

Group size is very limited. Please cancel your reservation if you are unable to attend so others may have a chance to join us.
