Views & Blooms: Springtime in the Tri-Valley

A little prep goes a long way when you’re heading out on the trails:

• Always bring water with you, even if you don’t think you’ll need it.
• Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes for uneven or rocky terrain.
• Ticks are present at all of our parks. Wear long socks and pants and stay away from tall grass.  
• Stick to marked trails and help keep these spaces beautiful.
• Leave wildflowers, mushrooms, and plants as you find them.
• Avoid stepping on blooms or wandering off-trail for photos.
• Give wildlife space and never feed or approach animals. 
• Pack out everything you bring in.
