Join LandPaths, Kashia Pomo Tribe of the Stewarts Point Rancheria and the Ag + Open Space through a unique hike through the Kashia Coastal Reserve. We will learn about the history, ecology and current restorations efforts happening at this beautiful 688-acre coastal reserve. This magnificent property, not open to the public, is home to pristine creeks, ancient redwood forests, and scenic coastal bluffs. We will be hiking about 4-mile round trip on uneven terrain with some elevation gain. This hike is suitable for adults, but open to families with children 13 years or older, if the children are comfortable outdoors and self-motivated and focused around learning in nature. Participants should bring their own lunch.
