Ramona Grasslands Preserve
17278 Highland Valley Road, Ramona, CA 92065
Join us for a walk through the heart of the Ramona Grasslands Preserve and learn how plants are used and understood in everyday life, both historically and today. We’ll observe plant leaf shapes, textures, smells, and structures to learn how native plants can be used as food, medicine, dyes, tools, and building materials. This is an easy 3.3-mile hike with minimal elevation gain. We’ll take pauses along the way to talk about different plants, animals and local history. No registration required. Women and allies are welcome.
Inclement weather may cancel; call the park ahead (760) 788-3326.
What is Women in the Wild?
Women in the Wild is a program that is designed to teach outdoor skills in a fun, nurturing and non-competitive environment. Experiences are educational and interactive – building confidence and a sense of community while fostering new appreciation for our region’s parks, preserves and diverse recreational opportunities.
Our mission is to encourage women to spend more time in nature through education, training and experiences that empower them to make outdoor recreation a way of life.
Our vision is to bring women closer to nature, and to each other, through recreation, collaboration and accomplishment.
Research shows women are interested, and see value, in outdoor experiences, but sometimes barriers stand in their way of spending as much time in nature as they'd like. The County of San Diego Department of Parks and Recreation is reversing that trend.
Women in the Wild experiences are planned for women, by female staff members. With events ranging from backpacking to bouldering and hiking to camping, we're opening new avenues for conversation, connection and collaboration.
Take a risk, tackle a trail, show society what it looks like to play
like a girl… Join us as we embark on this adventure together!
