Claremont Canyon Conservancy

The Claremont Canyon Conservancy is a nonprofit organization formed in 2001.

We lead strategic fuel reduction projects and promote stewardship through trail building and w**d management. The Claremont Canyon Conservancy is a catalyst for the long-term protection and restoration of the canyon's natural environment and an advocate for comprehensive fire safety along its wildland/urban interface.

Next time you visit Claremont Canyon, 🥾 hike the Willow Trail. A few feet past tall Cow Parsnips (Heracleum maximum) growing along the trail you will find native Pink Honeysuckle (Lonicera hispidula) vines and shrubs abundant with clusters of bright pink flowers.

🌱 Hummingbirds are attracted to the vibrant tubular flowers that grow in the spring and early summer, while during the late summertime, other birds eat the red berries they produce. Grab your hiking shoes, water, and your camera and enjoy these summer blooms in the preserve. Want to share your photos with us?

🪶Save your spot!
Sunday, April 26 from 7:30am-11:30am (meet at 7:15am)
If you missed our winter Woodpecker Walk, join Jeff Martin, Conservancy member, wildlife educator, naturalist, videographer, and woodpecker enthusiast, as we look for woodpeckers foraging in the Canyon. Jeff will lead us on a route through the territories of six regularly occurring woodpecker species. We will learn where to look for them, how to identify them, and observe their foraging habits. We will surely see other year-round resident birds.

Visit our website claremontcanyon.org (link in bio) to learn more about woodpeckers and where we will be hiking. Under the "Flora and Fauna" page you will find Jeff Martin's article, "Woodpeckers of Claremont Canyon".

**This event is limited to ten participants (and we only have 5 spots left!)—please contact us at [email protected] to sign up for this walk (or by filling up this form https://forms.gle/AkRGYVRzvRyHbu5k8). Exact location to be determined and emailed to participants several days prior to the event (it will take place in Claremont Canyon). Bring binoculars if you have one. Heavy rain cancels.

Bird Walk - Let's go Woodpeckering!
Sunday, March 15 from 8am-11am (meet-up at 7:45am)

Join this super fun Woodpecker Walk in Claremont Canyon! Jeff Martin, Conservancy member, wildlife educator, naturalist, videographer, and woodpecker enthusiast, will lead us on a route through the territories of six regularly occurring woodpecker species. We will probably see and hear quite a few woodpeckers, and hopefully at least two or three different species among them. We will learn where to look for them, how to identify them, and observe their unique foraging habits. We will surely see and identify other interesting birds we see along the way, but our special interest is Woodpeckers!
🔗 RSVP to save your spot (link in bio)

🏃‍♀️The Woodpecker walk, round trip, up and down the hill is approximately 2.5 miles, but we will take breaks along the way as we look for woodpeckers.
☘️ Moderate to heavy rain cancels. Light, occasional rain we meet as scheduled.
