SUMMARY:Bug & Plant Identification Walk at Sierra Azul OSP
LOCATION:Sierra Azul OSP
DESCRIPTION:<div class="page" title="Page 11"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="colum
 n"><p>Plants and insects are at the very bottom of the food chain – many hi
 gher forms of life depend on them for survival. An intact native plant habi
 tat supports a diverse insect population, which in turn feeds amphibians, r
 eptiles, birds, small mammals and other animals. Learn to identify the comm
 on native plants and insects of our area with California naturalists Karan 
 Gathani and Arvind Kumar on a guided walk through Sierra Azul Open Space Pr
 eserve, the largest and southernmost preserve in the Midpeninsula Regional 
 Open Space District.</p><p>We will hike the Woods Trail with spectacular vi
 ews of Mt. Hamilton and the valley floor. Expect to see coast live oak, mad
 rone, California bay, bigleaf maple, buckeye, big berry manzanita, toyon, c
 offeeberry, cream bush, chamise, mountain mahogany, and sticky monkeyflower
 . We may encounter butterflies, bees, beetles, grasshoppers, flies, spiders
  and ants.</p><p>The elevation gain is 600 ft; the distance covered is 5.4 
 miles round trip.</p><p>All interested in plant and insect identification a
 re welcome; prior knowledge of&nbsp;botany or entomology is helpful but not
  required.</p><p>Wear good walking/hiking shoes. Bring a sack lunch and ple
 nty of fluids. Drinking water is not available in the preserve. We also sug
 gest bringing a hat, sunscreen; and optionally, a hand lens and smartphone 
 camera. We expect to <strong>return to the parking lot by 3:00pm</strong>.<
