Event

Pinnacle Gulch BioBlitz Hike

Join Sonoma County Regional Parks' Natural Resources Manager Melanie Parker on a "BioBlitz" hike and help catalog the natural history of this coastal park. Hikers will learn from one another while exploring a route featured in the Sonoma County Trails Challenge. We will photograph and upload observations of plants, birds, animal signs and other natural features of coastal prairie habitat into iNaturalist.org, a site for sharing what we see in nature.

In addition to your curiosity and enthusiasm, please bring your smart phone, binoculars and field guide (if you have them), a lunch, and water. This outing may last until mid-afternoon, depending on findings.

The Trails Challenge invites you to discover Sonoma County's parks by hiking five or more trails before Dec. 1. When you're done, turn in a brief online trails log and get a free Trails Challenge water bottle. Get started today at sonomacountyparks.org.
