Join Alf Fengler in keeping Sally Casey's tradition of exploring the native grasses at Los Trancos Open Space Preserve. See many species of grasses in sunny and shady conditions. Bring a hand lens if you have one available, since many important grass features are quite small.
Pack water, lunch, comfortable walking shoes, hiking poles if needed, and an interest in the grasses. The hike distance will be about 2 miles with about 300 feet in elevation gain. We will stop for lunch along the trail.
The trip is limited to 16 participants. To reserve your spot, contact Alf at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or (650) 345- 7045.
Directions: The preserve’s entrance is on Page Mill Rd., 7 mi. west of I-280 and 1.5 miles east of Skyline Blvd. Additional parking and restroom facilities are available at the Monte Bello Open Space Preserve parking area, located directly across Page Mill Rd. Parking is free.
