Special California Native Plant Hike at Edgewood Preserve

Edgewood is home to hundreds of California native plants, including some that are rare, threatened, or endangered species. We'll learn about Edgewood's incredible biodiversity and appreciate the sights, sounds, and smells of the late summer landscape.

This hike is geared toward adults and older children interested in learning more about the plants and animals at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve, San Mateo County Parks' only natural preserve.

We’ll cover about 3 miles at a moderate pace and make frequent stops to look at what we find along the way. Elevation gain is approximately 400 feet. Note that Edgewood’s many narrow trails cannot accommodate strollers.

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.

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

All participants, including children, must be registered individually and have approved the liability waiver through Eventbrite.

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

We ask folks to register for our hikes in order to keep group sizes manageable, but often we have a few no shows. You are welcome to drop-in 10 minutes before the beginning of the hike to see if there might be extra room. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm whether there will be space for drop-in hikers in advance. Thank you for your understanding.
