Join us for a one-hour hike along the former trade routes of the Northern California Indigenous People and visit sacred indigenous sites. We hike every Thursday as a group to encourage health. The hike meanders along dirt roads, up and down oak-crested hills in one of the most beautiful valleys in California. We leave from the HREC office at the center of the facility. Participants must walk with the HREC/Moai leader, we stay together as a group. We start hiking promptly at 7:30 AM. Hikers who miss the group may not hike alone. We hike about 2 miles in one hour. If you are walking-challenged, please consider walking sticks. Don't be late!
Come join us for this SENSE-ational camp where your child will have the opportunity to deepen their connection to nature through their senses each day. Through the lenses of their senses we will explore and discover more about the wild beauty found along the Mendocino Coast. Weekly sessions are: June 23rd-27th, July 7th-11th, July 21st-25th, July 28th-August 1st and August 4th-8th. Camp happens daily, Monday-Friday from 10AM-3PM. Email Sue Magoo Coulter at yearntolearnwithsue@gmail.com for more information and to register.

Join MCBG Horticulturist Paul Ruiz-Lopez on a nature walk through the horticultural and natural areas of the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. The main focus of each walk will vary based on the season (see schedule below). Plants will be the main subject of observance and discussion, but we will also keep an eye out for animals such as birds, marine mammals, insects, amphibians, and more. The idea is to highlight the prominent “phenomenon” that is occurring in our garden and natural areas each month. Come explore the Gardens' natural history and learn to think like a naturalist!
