COBB, Calif. – The Friends of Boggs Mountain will be offering a nature walk on the interpretive trail at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 15.

This is an opportunity to get some exercise, enjoy a hike and note what is going on in the world of nature in the forest as well.

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

Both the mountain dogwood and the common snowberry are beginning to leaf out, shoots of the giant horsetail should be emerging, and witches butter is to be found after the recent heavy rains.

If hikers are lucky, they'll also be treated to the spring song of the diminutive Pacific Wren.

The 1.3-mile hike will be on moderate terrain and will be led by Darlene Hecomovich.

Wear sturdy shoes, dress appropriately for weather conditions, and bring water and enthusiasm.

Meet at the parking lot kiosk promptly at 9 a.m. The forest entrance is located off Highway 175 just 1½ miles north of Cobb Village. Turn at the blue State Fire Station/Boggs Mountain Forest sign.
