UPCOMING EVENTS:
Presidio Park Sunset Hike
Saturday, September 11; 5:00-7:00 pm
Cost: $10 per person
Registration is required. See below.
Meeting place: Main Post parade ground, Presidio Park
Please come join us for a leisurely walk down the hills and trails of our gorgeous Presidio with Chris Giorni, Director of Tree Frog Treks. We will scan the sky for Red-tailed Hawks, Anna's humming birds and Great Blue Herons as we travel from the forested hills to the edge of the Bay. Along the way we will gently flip a log or two in search of sleeping salamanders and an astounding variety of insect life including centipedes, isopods and darkling beetles. We will identify native plant life and even sample some edible varieties like Miner’s lettuce as we make our way through the oak woodlands and redwood groves in our very own Presidio backyard. As the sun sets, we will listen quietly for the evening chorus of birds and frogs to signal the end of another day. So bundle up, bring a snack, strap on your hiking boots and let’s get out and get dirty on our crepuscular hike! Meet at Main Post parade ground at 5pm.
