Oak Woodland Meet and Greet

Summer heat is coming for us so let’s take a shady morning walk to discover and discuss the numerous and wondrous ways our beautiful oak trees contribute to a rich tapestry of life. From the water-loving valley oaks to the heat-loving blue oaks, these woodlands support more living organisms than any other terrestrial ecosystem in California. Shasta Environmental Alliance’s hike leader and naturalist, Juliet Malik will guide you on this walk to observe and discuss both plant and animal residents of the oak community. From the raucous acorn woodpecker and impertinent California ground squirrel to the ubiquitous manzanita and poison oak, there is no shortage of “did you know” facts Juliet can throw at you!

This is a flat 1.3-mile loop trail located in Redding and features ample shade (thank you oaks!!). Dogs on a leash are allowed. We will get started at 8am to avoid the heat, but please bring water to stay hydrated. The meeting location and subsequent updates will be provided only to those who sign up using this form https://forms.gle/R15x9qzmysVNs1Gs9
