Join us for this 4 mile hike with 700 ft. elevation gain as we trace the route outlined in the new Audible Guide for Lime Ridge .A century ago, Lime Ridge supplied some of the lime and sand needed for California’s industrial expansion.  Today, surrounded by homes in Concord and Walnut Creek, the area is easy to dismiss as a drive by experience.  However, if you take a walk with people who know the place you learn that it’s actually a reservoir of rare plants and animals, a laboratory for restoration and the setting for a triumphant chapter in local conservation history.

RSVP Requested to smdinfo@savemountdiablo.org or 925-947-3535.
Meet at the Montecito Staging area, SW corner of Ygnacio and Cowell Rd. From I-680 head east on Ygnacio Valley Rd, turn right on Montecito Dr, the staging area is the first right.
