Earth Energy Walk - Pogonip at UCSC

Let’s get out into Nature and celebrate the turning of the wheel! Gather at 10:45am.

This month we return to Pogonip near UCSC. Our flattest, most accessible walk features a lovely labyrinth.

We'll meet at the top of Spring Street on the Westside of Santa Cruz. Bring water and a snack to share. Masks are encouraged, but not mandatory.

We walk in silence on the way in – doing so brings Nature so much closer to us, as we take in not only the sights, but the sounds and even smells of a nice country walk. At a turnaround spot we will rest and share food. Then we gab like magpies all the way back. It’s always a great time.

Gather at 10:45 am
Departure: 11:00 am
Return: around 1pm

FOR ALL LOCATIONS Please bring:
Drinking water
A small snack
Hiking Shoes
Comfortable Clothes

Check ahead to make sure the walk is happening! Poor weather and, frankly, past low attendance may cancel a walk. Contact us at Info@communityseed.org or leave us a voicemail at (831) 469-0336

Please join us, and if you have any semi-secluded spots you’d like us to explore (nothing too strenuous), please let us know!
