This interesting creature is a busy builder. Maybe you have seen some of those stick houses along the trails? Are they all occupied? Who lives in them? What is the story of the woodrat? Why is it also called a packrat? And what is this you hear about them not being a rat at all? Come learn all about them on this hike.Join Friends of Edgewood docents for this free fall hike at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve. We’ll cover about 3 miles at a moderate pace and make frequent stops to talk about dusky-footed woodrats and why they are considered a keystone species.This hike is suitable for both children and adults interested in learning more about nature and wildlife at Edgewood, but we suggest kids ages 6 and up due to the length of the walk.Wear sturdy shoes and bring water. Consider sunscreen, a hat, and snacks. Restrooms and water are available only at the Ed Center and the picnic area near the Sylvan Trailhead. Please plan ahead. Note that Edgewood’s many narrow trails cannot accommodate strollers.All participants, including children, must be registered individually and have approved the liability waiver through Eventbrite. Details on where to meet will be emailed to participants before the event.We will still hike in light showers, but a heavy downpour cancels this hike.Group size is very limited. Please cancel your reservation if you are unable to attend so others may have a chance to join us.We ask folks to register for our hikes in order to keep group sizes manageable, but often we have a few no shows. You are welcome to drop-in 10 minutes before the beginning of the hike to see if there might be extra room. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm whether there will be space for drop-in hikers in advance. Thank you for your understanding. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/16a886c0-b99e-11f0-a5ac-c5732d107508-rimg-w1200-h675-dcffffff-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/redwood-city/special-dusky-footed-woodrat-hike-at-edgewood/100001918801861019 - **Event Categories**: trips-adventures, kids - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 1 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Redwood City - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Bill and Jean Lane Education Center at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve - **lat**: 37.4734978 - **long**: -122.2785924 - **full address**: Bill and Jean Lane Education Center at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve, 10 Old Stage Coach Road, Redwood City, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Special Dusky-footed Woodrat Hike at Edgewood - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f6df8fbb8981f362bc45422a69c9bec0e9e13bb35a09a092bb5b96987ea9b975-rimg-w1200-h600-dcfffffe-gmir.jpg?v=1762274944 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Special Dusky-footed Woodrat Hike at Edgewood being held? - **A:** Special Dusky-footed Woodrat Hike at Edgewood takes place on Sat, 15 Nov, 2025 at 09:00 am to Sat, 15 Nov, 2025 at 12:00 pm at Bill and Jean Lane Education Center at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve, 10 Old Stage Coach Road, Redwood City, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Special Dusky-footed Woodrat Hike at Edgewood? - **A:** Special Dusky-footed Woodrat Hike at Edgewood is organized by Friends of Edgewood Natural Preserve. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Special Dusky-footed Woodrat Hike at Edgewood", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/f6df8fbb8981f362bc45422a69c9bec0e9e13bb35a09a092bb5b96987ea9b975-rimg-w1200-h600-dcfffffe-gmir.jpg?v=1762274944", "startDate": "2025-11-15", "endDate": "2025-11-15", "url": "https://allevents.in/redwood-city/special-dusky-footed-woodrat-hike-at-edgewood/100001918801861019", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Bill and Jean Lane Education Center at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "10 Old Stage Coach Road", "postalCode": "94062", "addressLocality": "Redwood City", "addressRegion": "CA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "37.4734978", "longitude": "-122.2785924" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "A Special Fall Hike: The Wonderful Woodrat at Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve.", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-15", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/redwood-city/special-dusky-footed-woodrat-hike-at-edgewood/100001918801861019" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-06", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-06", "url": "https://allevents.in/redwood-city/special-dusky-footed-woodrat-hike-at-edgewood/100001918801861019", "price": 0, "name": "Hike Participants" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Friends of Edgewood Natural Preserve", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/friends-of-edgewood-natural-preserve/22799244", "description": "Friends of Edgewood engages in land and wildlife stewardship, nature education, and interpretive programs that support Edgewood Park and Natural Preserve in Redwood City, California.
