Saturday Morning Hikes at Fairfield Osborn Preserve
Staff of the Fairfield Osborn Preserve are leading Saturday hikes through May 16 that offer visitors the opportunity to observe the diverse fauna and flora of the popular nature preserve on Sonoma Mountain. The Preserve is managed by Sonoma State University. The naturalist-led hikes give community members an opportunity to explore the grounds of this unique preserve, which is home to many native species, says newly-appointed Preserve Director Claudia Lukes. Tours are appropriate for families, friends and individuals. Visitors should be able to hike two to four miles over uneven ground. Sturdy shoes, long pants, drinking water and a snack are highly recommended. General admission is $3. Visitors 12 and younger are admitted free. Hikes are held every Saturday at 10 a.m. There will be no hike on April 18. The Fairfield Osborn Preserve is located at 6543 Lichau Road in Penngrove. For more information or directions, call (707) 795-5069 or e-mail fairfield.osborn@sonoma.edu or visit the Preserve website.
