“Since Bill and Dave’s retirement, Parks staff and volunteers are following in their footsteps by continuing to offer the style of adventurous hikes the duo made famous. Join us to check out favorite trails and parks, preview new parklands, learn about the local ecosystem and enjoy a day out in nature. Helen Putnam has always been a great park for hiking, with secluded spots to get up close to nature as well as fantastic territorial views up the valley. Recent improvements have created new connections between the park and surrounding neighborhoods and improved trail routes and conditions. We’ll explore what’s old and new in this hike. For more information, contact Alexis Puerto-Holmes at communityengagementprograms@sonoma-county.org. Registration required.
Please bring your own water and snacks. We recommend participants dress in layers and bring a hat and sunscreen. Most programs will happen rain or shine, but may be canceled during heavy rains, heavy smoke, or extreme temperatures. Accommodations will be made for visitors with disabilities upon advance request. Parking is $7 or free with a Regional Parks membership.”
