Join us for an evening along Big Chico Creek! We'll be hiking 1-2 miles out and back on a maintained natural trail. Whether you're a hiker, birder, mushroom hunter, all or none of these, or aspiring in these hobbies, you're welcome to join us.

Information for our land acknowledgment was gathered from nativeland.ca, which provides an estimate of original indigenous land occupation, but does not take into account migratory patterns or movement of the many surrounding communities. We recognize the historical complexity of indigenous movement across the land, and honor with gratitude the many, many surviving native nations whose land we benefit from in our work to diversify the outdoors.
