Hiking with my daughter-in-law and her mom is always a magical time because they live in the redwoods and just around the corner is this exceptional trail.
This 187 acre parcel of redwoods, fir, oak and bay trees has been protected as “forever wild” within the Bodega Land Trust since 2011.Interestingly, the Tannery Creek Reserve is private property. Permission to walk on the property is gladly given when a completed membership form and liability waiver have been submitted. In order to help protect the property owner who grants the hiking privileges, the neighborhood association pays for an annual liability insurance policy . While membership is free, they request an annual donation ($50 suggested) to pay the policy premium. Cool system!What a surprise to see a fox in the woods. I believe it was a first for me.Another first was being show this unique wildflower... the bleeding heart plant (Lamprocapnos spectabilis).We spent the week here, to bond with our family and to just be in the woods. Our goals were exceeded.
“And into the forest I go,
to lose my mind
and find my soul.”
