Hiking with a Naturalist

Join Earthroots lead instructor and California Naturalist, Macy Pilkington, for a guided hike through the stunning hills of the Santa Ana Mountains! Explore scenic trails in a small, intimate group, connect with fellow hiking enthusiasts from Orange County, and discover breathtaking new views. The hike will begin at Big Oak Canyon, leading into Cleveland National Forest. Come together to cultivate community and deepen your connection to the natural world. Each hike includes a welcoming circle, a naturalist-led plant walk, and a peaceful quiet sit to reflect and absorb the beauty around you.
