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 will learn that it’s actually a reservoir of rare plants and animals, a laboratory for restoration and the setting of a triumphant chapter in local conservation history.
