Loupe Loop: Alpine Pond

July 6, 2024

9:00 am - 11:00 am

Skyline Ridge Preserve

Approximate Total Miles

Micro-observers young and old are invited to attend this leisurely-paced stroll around Alpine Pond with Docent Naturalists Frances Reneau and Nina Bell to investigate the multitude of mini-organisms hiding around its edge. The focus is on exploration and questioning, not identification. If you have a 10X loupe, please bring it, though a few will be provided. Children aged six and up welcome.

Where to Meet

For this activity at Skyline Ridge Preserve, meet at the Russian Ridge Parking Area on the northwest corner of the Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35) and Page Mill/Alpine Road intersection (across Skyline Blvd. on the right). Those traveling from I-280 on Page Mill Rd. should allow approximately 40 minutes travel time.
