Pacheco State Park will celebrate the 14th Annual Wildflower Day on Saturday, April 1 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Visitors can explore tables staffed by local volunteers including the California Native Plant Society, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and California State Parks who will help you learn about this beautiful state park and other recreational opportunities in the area. There will be free arts and crafts for children.
A bird walk will begin at 9:30 a.m.; guided wildflower hikes will begin at 10 a.m.
These hikes have a limited number of spaces and will be filled on a first come, first served basis at the event. Visitors can also take a self-guided tour with a free wildflower hike pamphlet. Families are encouraged to bring their own picnic lunch.
There is no drinking water available, so bring your own beverages. The weather at Pacheco State Park varies, so bring layered clothing and sunscreen.
There is an entrance fee of $10 per vehicle. This same fee will allow you to also visit San Luis Reservoir State Recreation Area the same day. To learn more, call (209) 826-1196 or email: bwong@parks.ca.gov with the subject “Wildflower Day”.
