Monserate Mountain Preserve

We'll be weeding, watering, and mulching the newly fenced sections of Monserate Mountain Preserve trailhead this Saturday and we need your help! Join us at 8 am and we'll show you what to do. It should be much cooler Saturday morning!

The FLC is updating our five year strategic plan and we want your input as we look toward 2027! Please take a couple minutes to fill out this brief survey: http...://survey.constantcontact.com///a011dko0g2biq/greeting *Photo of Monserate Mountain Preserve from Engel Family Preserve for perspective.

This is a sign that our restoration efforts at MMP trailhead are working! Chia (Salvia columbariae) is a native annual wildflower and this individual popped up in one of the areas we have fenced off and mulched. We planted some native perennials and threw out some native wildflower seed, but chia wasn’t in the mix. The seed for this plant must have been brought in by a bird or other wildlife, and was able to take advantage of being dropped in a protected spot to grow. If it is pollinated and survives long enough to produce seed it will help restore this area with more natives, which will in turn feed more birds and wildlife. When you hike at MMP please stay on the trail and keep dogs on leash and on trail, so we can see many more plants grow and thrive.
