Celebrating trails isn’t just about recreation – National Trails Day is also about preserving local trail systems and surrounding habitats, and the Conservancy is hosting a volunteer activity at their Native Seed Farm on June 1. Volunteers will receive a free T-Shirt from REI for participating in seed harvesting on the farm from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The Native Seed Farm is surrounded by scenic hills, and provides seed that will be used to restore habitat throughout the Irvine Ranch National Landmarks in 2014.
Other opportunities to hit the trails on June 1 include a guided hike through Buck Gully Reserve in Newport Beach, and a thought-provoking natural history hike through Baker Canyon’s trails.
