Protected in 2002, the Keen property is one of Sonoma Valley’s more unique and picturesque conservation easements. It protects ancient lava flows that form walls and rooms, that in turn frame elegant displays of native plants and offer stunning portal views to the surrounding Mayacamas Mountains. In spring, native wildflowers add beautiful color, and water around the area flows over rocks and meadows as the headwaters of Agua Caliente Creek.
This outing is for experienced hikers only, with strenuous hiking over uneven, steep terrain with no trail. We may pass through brushy areas, with possible exposure to ticks or poison oak. Bring appropriate clothing including long pants and sturdy footwear, a hat or sunscreen, and plenty of water. There is no charge for this outing, as it is made possible by the voters of Sonoma County who fund the District’s work with a quarter cent sales tax.
REGISTER TODAY! Space is limited and this outing will fill quickly. Reservations are required online by 5pm on Saturday, April 2, 2016 by visiting http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/2518913. Directions to the meeting place and day-of contact information will be emailed upon registration.
