Mount Burdell Serpentine, Oaks, and Grasslands

Leaders: Stacey Pogorzelski & Caroline Christman

Reservations on MeetUp for this field trip beginning soon.     Limit 15 participants

Meet at the San Carlos Way trailhead north of San Marin Drive, where San Carlos Way meets Mt. Burdell OSP.  We will check out the nearby serpentine soil and rock outcrops to look for what’s b looming!  We may see blue dicks, yellowbeak owl’s clover, California buttercup, and early poppies. This is a great area for Zygadene, but it may be past its peak bloom. Willow and rushes grow in wetter areas, and of course oaks with new growth of leaves and/or catkins. We will do a loop of 2-3 miles, exact trail depending upon what flowers and plants have been seen recently and trail conditions.

Bring: layers, snacks, water  Rain cancels
