Community Nature Hikes
Thanks to our generous sponsor like Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District and individual donors like you, we are happy to bring you our public hike series that explores hidden gems along the California Coast, Santa Cruz Mountains, and San Francisco Bay!
Saved By Nature's Community Nature Hikes provide an inclusive and enriching opportunity for individuals of all backgrounds to explore the natural beauty of the Bay Area. Held on the first Saturday of every month, these guided hikes take participants to stunning locations, including open space preserves, state parks, and coastal trails, offering breathtaking views and a chance to connect with nature.

Participants not only enjoy the physical and mental health benefits of hiking but also gain insights into the natural and cultural history of the areas they explore.
To enhance the experience, Saved By Nature provides complimentary snacks and lunch for all participants, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and cared for. This program fosters a sense of community, encourages environmental stewardship, and inspires a lifelong appreciation for the outdoors.
