Learn about the importance of watersheds and the rich variety of plants, animals, and other living creatures that depend on them with Docent Naturalists Mari Aldridge and Catherine Xun. You'll start this moderately-paced hike near the protected headwaters of Stevens Creek to practice observing the various changes as you explore the watershed’s different habitats, including grassland, mixed oak woodland, and riparian. The route takes you along the White Oak Trail and returns up the Canyon Trail. Bring a snack.
