Beautiful Coastal Hike “Finding Franciscan Manzanita” | Baker Beach

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Join for a beautiful coastal hike as we explore the history and ecology of the rare Franciscan Manzanita.

There will be a discussion on what the National Park Service and other conservationists are doing to protect this magnificent species. Joined by Michael Vasey and Tom Parker, co-authors of the Field Guide to Manzanitas.

Meet at Baker Beach North Parking Lot off of Battery Chamberlin Road. From there, hike north along the Pacific bluffs and through the manzanita’s critical habitat.

Once we reach the Golden Gate Bridge, pour some Manzanita drinks (apple juice and champagne) and make a toast to the survival of this wonderful species. In the spirit of resource conservation, please bring a reusable cup if you wish to participate.
