Winter in Sonoma County offers many different colors, shapes, textures and lighting in Nature: great for practicing photography. Winter is also newt breeding season! Join us as we hike up Cobblestone Trail to Frog Pond and back for a guided Nature hike. Pause to learn about fun photo ops on trails, explore what is living and breading in Frog Pond. If you haven’t used iNaturalist or haven’t made an observation for a while, this is your chance! Just make sure to load the free iNaturalist app before you arrive (https://www.inaturalist.org/) on your phone and have your battery fully charged. Observation may also be uploaded from your camera to the website after the hike. Hike returns to same parking area about Noon.
