COBB, Calif. – The Friends of Boggs Mountain will be offering a nature walk on the interpretive trail Saturday, Sept. 10, at 9 am.

This is an opportunity to get some exercise while you enjoy the outdoors and the wonders of nature.

The interpretive trail has more than 50 signs identifying the plants, shrubs, trees, mosses and wildflowers encountered on the path. The 1.3-mile hike will be on moderate terrain and will be led by Darlene Hecomovich.

Special emphasis on this walk will be placed on identifying the shrubs and bushes that make up the understory of this majestic 3,500-acre Douglas Fir, Ponderosa pine forest that includes beautiful oak woodlands as well.

The predominant shrubs that they will be seeking that comprise this understory mix are manzanita, ceanothus or wild lilac, and coffeeberry as well as emerging mountain dogwood and canyon live oak.

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

Meet at the parking lot kiosk promptly at 9 am. 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.
