Embracing Nature Together 6th Annual Inclusive Nature Hike
Join us for a meaningful day of connection, reflection, and community at the 6th Annual Inclusive Nature Hike! Co-hosted by Saved By Nature and Latino Outdoors, and made possible by Parks California, this event invites people of all ages and all abilities to experience the joy of nature and community in an inclusive and welcoming space. This year's hike honors our story of resilience and rebuilding. Following the devastating CZU Lightning Complex Fires, both the upper and lower units of Big Basin Redwoods State Park—including Rancho Del Oso—suffered immense damage. Today, thanks to collective effort, feedback, and imagination, we're proud to be part of the reawakening of these beloved natural spaces.
