COBB, Calif. – The Friends of Boggs Mountain will be offering a nature walk on the interpretive trail on Sunday, June 24, at 9 a.m. Come enjoy a hike, get some exercise and note what is going on in the world of nature as well.

The interpretive trail has more than 50 signs identifying the plants, shrubs, trees, mosses and wildflowers encountered on the path.

Every season has its special gifts so now that it is officially summer hikers will look for, among other things, the bracken fern, the fragrant Yerba Santa shrub, the dramatic cow parsnip, and the phantom orchid, the first of the Boggs orchids to greet the summer.

The 1.3-mile hike will be at a moderate pace as well as on moderate terrain and will be led by Darlene Hecomovich. Wear study shoes, dress appropriately for weather conditions, and bring water and enthusiasm.

Meet at the informational kiosk in the parking lot promptly at 9 a.m. The forest entrance is located off Highway 175 just two miles north of Cobb Village. Turn at the blue State Fire Station/Boggs Mountain Forest sign.

For further information phone Darlene Hecomovich at 707-928-5591 or email at dheco@me.com .
