Field Trip: Wildflower Safari: Edgewood Park
Field Trip: Wildflower Safari: Edgewood Park
Friday, April 7, 2023, 9:30 AM until 1:30 PM
The heavy rains from recent months should make 2023 a truly exceptional year for Spring Wildflowers. Each year, Edgewood Park proves to be a top spot for wildflowers in the Bay Area. So Edgewood Park will be our first Wildflower Safari for 2023.
Edgewood Park is conveniently located near the intersection of Hwy 280 and Edgewood Rd, about 25 minutes from downtown Palo Alto by car.
When I refer to Edgewood Park, I also include the Pulgas Ridge Open Space Preserve which is just across Edgewood Rd to the North
The Plan
A few days before the Field Trip some of us will tour the Edgewood area looking for the better Wildflower locations. Those locations will then be highlighted on a digital map with locations for where we should meetup in the morning and where we should gather for lunch. The digital map will be posted at pacamera.com and emailed to those registered for the field trip by March 7.
