California Woods Nature Preserve and Center
Join us for an enchanting night of storytelling under the stars! Follow the luminarias up a short but steep set of stone stairs to our Austin E. Knowlton campfire area, where the fun begins. Enjoy an optional short night hike between stories, where we will listen and learn about the sounds, sights, and smells of nature at night. Feel free to bring a blanket to sit on or cover up with if it's chilly.
Join our team for one date or all of them. We will restore our beautiful native forest by killing invasive plants or stopping their spread. From late Fall through Winter and early Spring we'll cut and stack bush honeysuckle and other woody invasives. In Spring we'll pull and bag garlic mustard. In late Summer and early Fall we’ll pull and bag Japanese stilt grass and Japanese chaff flower, and throughout the year we may engage in other habitat restoration projects. This will usually be off trail in wooded, often hilly terrain.
