Redwood Forest Summer Stroll at Samuel P. Taylor State Park

Leader: Stacey Pogorzelski

Please sign up for this field trip on Meetup beginning July 1.   Limit: 10

Enjoy the beauty and bounty of summer in the cool redwood forest. In summer, we will see berries, other plants setting seed, and perhaps even some flowers. The park hosts at least 14 fern species! We’ll get to know some of them. And, of course, we will admire the glorious redwoods.

We plan to walk about 3 miles total on the Pioneer Tree Trail; the trail has about 250 feet elevation gain. However, trail conditions and weather may change our planned route. If it’s hot, we may dip our toes in the creek.
