Each spring, Regional Park volunteers lead a series of free wildflower walks in parks throughout Sonoma County. The first walk of 2013 is scheduled for March 23 at Sonoma Valley Regional Park in Glen Ellen, with additional hikes planned in other parks on the following four Saturdays.

Master Gardener Phil Dean, who has led nature walks in the county for nearly a decade, will identify and talk about the various flowers brightening the park this spring. Dean will share guide duties with wildflower expert Liz Landreth, another veteran of Regional Parks’ spring walks.

Park:  Sonoma Valley Regional Park - This walk follows a paved, ADA-accessible trail. Participants should meet in the Highway 12 parking lot.

No registration is necessary. Walkers should bring their own water and dress appropriately for the day’s weather. Heavy rain cancels all hikes.
