Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park: Advice from a Redwood Hike and Craft

July 28 @ 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

$45

Experience the beauty of the Santa Cruz Mountains with a unique blend of nature and creativity. Enjoy a walk among the redwoods coupled with an engaging art activity. You’ll explore the Redwood Loop at a leisurely pace, drawing inspiration from these ancient trees and learning about their lessons on healing, community, and resilience.

After the walk, you’ll have the opportunity to express your newfound inspiration through monotype printmaking. This accessible art form allows everyone, regardless of prior experience, to create one-of-a-kind prints to keep or share. Even if you don’t consider yourself an artist, you are encouraged to participate – art, like nature, is for everyone.

Your walk will cover no more than a mile on the mostly flat, unpaved Redwood Loop. For the art-making session, you’ll use picnic tables where you can comfortably sit or stand while you work.

Meet at the Visitor Center in the main parking lot at Big Basin. Detailed directions and additional information will be provided via email to those who register – ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. Enjoy this enriching and creative outdoor experience!
