Hike
Join Docent Naturalists Paula Maurano and Sabra Abraham for the 17th in the "All Preserves" series celebrating Midpen's 50th anniversary. El Corte de Madera Creek (the place to cut wood in Spanish) is loaded with interesting history, both human and natural. Evidence of this land's clearcutting in the 1800's is still evident. Points of interest include a tafoni sandstone formation and the old growth Methusaleh tree.
