Join Docent Naturalists Kate Bauer, Mary Brunkhorst, and Nick Yatsko for a moderately-paced hike along the lovely Zinfandel Trail. Learn some of the ways a healthy watershed depends on the complex interactions between water, geology, soil, plants, and wildlife and in turn supports a rich diversity of species, including humans. See firsthand some of the intriguing ways nature moves, stores, and conserves water to make the most of this life-giving resource. Bring a lunch for a stop along the way.
