Join Kevin Bryant, Matt Teel, and Roger Raiche for an exploration of Roger's amazing property, the Cedars. The Cedars, so named by early explorers for its extensive stands of Sargent Cypress, is a roughly 10 square mile area of Sonoma County consisting entirely of serpentine and its parent rock peridotite. Many rare plants, including several disjunct or endemic species, await us for this rare opportunity to visit this remote, privately owned and botanically unique piece of California.

To allow ample time for exploration on Sunday, we will be camping on site Saturday evening. The trip is limited to 15 participants. Exact directions will be given to confirmed participants; expect a 3 hour (max) drive from the SF peninsula, leaving midday on Saturday and returning late Sunday. High clearance and 4wd is needed to access the property; participants with unsuitable cars may leave their cars safely at a neighboring ranch and carpool in. If you have a high clearance 4wd and plan to attend the trip, please let Matt know when reserving a space. Springs and pools are abundant; bring a swimsuit if you like. Participants should be prepared for steep, rugged terrain and mainly single-track trails. Step carefully - medical help is a long time coming in this remote area!

This one will fill up!
