Full Moon Outing at Montini Open Space Preserve
Come and enjoy the Montini Open Space Preserve in its full moon glory! Ecology Center naturalists will talk about the rich natural and cultural history of this Preserve as we stroll through this scenic hillside backdrop to Sonoma on the full Strawberry Moon! The June full moon got its name because in North America, strawberries are harvested in the month of June. In Europe however, they have dubbed it the Rose Moon, while other cultures have called it the Hot Moon as June is the month that kicks off the start of the summer heat.
The Montini Open Space Preserve was protected by the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District in December 2005 for recreation and preservation of its natural and rich historic significance having been a working ranch since the time of General Vallejo. The property, which encompasses 152 acres, is in and adjacent to the City of Sonoma. With oak woodland, large rock outcroppings and open grassland, the property offers beautiful views of San Francisco and San Pablo Bays.
This is an intermediate to advanced level hike. This is a FREE public outing, as it is made possible by the voters of Sonoma County who funded the District's work with a quarter cent sales tax. Reservations are required by Friday, June 1, 2012.
