Ferns & Flowers at Martin Griffin Preserve
Ferns and Flowers
Join us on May 18th for guided hikes celebrating the many ferns and flowers we find along Martin Griffin Preserve trails. Nature Guides Mae and Karen will be leading guided hikes with materials at 11am and 2pm. Try out our fern and flower scavenger hunt, have a look at sporangia underneath the microscope, and more!
As every Saturday, we’ll have ample opportunity for nature exploration! Join our volunteer Nature Guides and grab a pair of binoculars or peer in the scopes to watch osprey dive for fish and eagles disrupt the waterbirds over the Bolinas Lagoon. Grab a net and scoop a newt at our freshwater ponds. Come out to our kids’ tables to do activities related to the sights, sounds, and smells of May at Martin Griffin Preserve! No reservation necessary -- please join us!
