Join us for a stroll on Mother’s Day through the rolling green hills of Fernandez Ranch. Amateur botanists Angela Pai and Lo Scheiner will lead this casual hike through oak woodlands with abundant wildflowers and open vistas.

A part of the John Muir Land Trust, Fernandez Ranch has only been open to the public since 2010. Come explore this open space in north Contra Costa County with us.

This 4-mile hike is moderately difficult, and the trails will be muddy and slippery if there have been recent rains. Dress in layers for variable weather conditions and bring water, sunscreen, and a hat.

Follow directions to 1081 Christie Road, Martinez, CA, and meet us at the trailhead. (Google Maps directions for "Fernandez Ranch" will take you to the wrong location.) We will end by 12:30 pm so we will not be stopping for lunch. No dogs, please.

Space is limited, so please RSVP. This event is free, with a $20 suggested donation.
