Wildflowers of Mount Burdell

We’ll visit a variety of habitats which include volcanic outcrops, serpentine soils, freshwater springs, and oak woodlands. The flora of this Novato preserve is incredibly diverse and includes a number of rare plants as well as many species that don’t occur anywhere else in Marin County. The bloom at this location is among the best wildflower displays to be found in Marin County – prepare to be overwhelmed! This walk is for adults. We request that no animals (except service animals) attend. Heavy rain may cancel. If questionable weather, call (415) 893-9527 on the morning of the walk for a recorded message to see if the walk is cancelled. David Herlocker will lead.


Questions: Contact David at (415) 893-9508 or DHerlocker@marincounty.org.
