Wonders of Cherry Springs

Join Docent Naturalists Greg Azevedo, Gordy Ferguson, and Jumana Latif for a leisurely-paced hike at a limited-access area. You’ll travel in a single loop, traversing grasslands, mixed evergreen forest, and chaparral. It includes one uphill section with a 500-foot elevation gain. You’ll discuss local history, learn about the pond environment and flora of the area, and enjoy views of Santa Clara Valley while exploring habitats that few humans have recently visited. Bring a snack for a short break. Reservations are required and will be accepted on or after September 26 at 12:00 p.m. (Noon) and close October 9 at 2:00 p.m.

Meet at the VTA Park & Ride lot at Camden Avenue @ Highway 85. Docents will lead a carpool to the access area and have a group permit and parking passes for participants. Please arrive on time; the group will depart promptly. All participants must stay for the duration of the activity (no early departures in a closed area). Please note: there are no restrooms in VTA lot, nor the Preserve, so please plan accordingly. Thank you.
