Wildflower Walk at Lewis Hill Preserve
2026-02-28 09:00 - 12:00 | CA
Step into a landscape rarely seen.

For one day each year, access is granted to Lewis Hill Preserve—a protected site normally closed to the public and home to rare plants, unique geology, and thriving wildlife. This self-guided hike offers a chance to explore rolling hills alive with seasonal wildflowers, learn from experts stationed along the trail, and experience a place shaped by stewardship and care.
Lewis Hill does not have an address. Click here for directions.

Why Lewis Hill Matters
Lewis Hill is one of the few places where the Striped Adobe Lily, a threatened wildflower, continues to survive. This tiny bloom depends on the preserve’s unusual serpentine soils—rocky, mineral-rich terrain that supports plant and animal life found almost nowhere else. Along the trail, sweeping wildflower displays, burrowing owls, and a variety of bird species reveal how geology and biology intersect in this sensitive habitat.

What to Expect
This is a moderate hike over uneven terrain and natural surfaces. The experience is self-guided, allowing exploration at a personal pace with staffed stations along the route focused on geology, birding, and wildflowers. At the top, kite flying adds a moment of lightness and joy before heading back down.

Come Prepared

Uneven footing throughout the trail
Boots or sturdy hiking shoes strongly recommended
Bring water and sun protection
Stay on designated trails
Follow Leave No Trace principles to protect sensitive plant life

Preparation helps ensure a safe experience for both visitors and the land.

RSVP & Attendance Details
Attendance is limited to protect the preserve. RSVP is required. No walk-ups will be accepted.

Capacity is capped at 250 guests
Parking is limited; carpooling is strongly encouraged
Additional parking information will be shared closer to the event

Cost & Donations
This event is free to attend. A minimum donation of $20 per person is recommended to support habitat protection, stewardship, and the continued care of Lewis Hill. Donations will be accepted on-site via cash, check, or card.

Stewardship Comes First
Access to Lewis Hill is possible because protection remains the priority. Visitors are asked to tread lightly, respect posted guidance, and help ensure this rare landscape remains intact for the species that depend on it—and for future generations to experience responsibly.

Walk the Wetlands: James K. Herbert Preserve (Open One Day Only)
2026-03-28 09:00 - 13:00 | CA
Saturday, March 28 | 9:00 AM–1:00 PM (last entry at 12:00 PM)

Step into a rare wetland prairie landscape—open to the public just one day a year. RSVP required. Suggested donations support long-term protection of this special place.

For one day each year, the gates open at the James K. Herbert Wetland Prairie Preserve—725 acres of protected wetland prairie habitat in the heart of Tulare County.

Walk the Wetlands is a spring tradition built for curiosity and quiet wonder. Expect open skies, seasonal wildflowers, and the chance to spot birds and wildlife that depend on this rare landscape. Seasonal wetlands may be present depending on rainfall, but the preserve is remarkable in every kind of year—alive with color, movement, and the rhythms of a place shaped by wet and dry cycles.

Guests will check in, receive a brief orientation, and be guided to a starting point by an expert before exploring at your own pace. This is a lightly guided, mostly self-directed experience designed to help visitors notice what’s often missed: the hidden life in a wetland prairie, the beauty of native plants, and the importance of protecting a habitat that has nearly disappeared from the San Joaquin Valley.

RSVP required. Capacity is limited.

Why Herbert Preserve Matters

Herbert Preserve protects something that almost no longer exists. This 725-acre preserve safeguards one of the largest remaining wetland prairie habitats in the San Joaquin Valley—a landscape that once stretched across the region but has nearly disappeared. Here, vernal pools may form with winter rains, wildflowers bloom in brilliant circles in spring, and migratory birds find refuge along their long journeys. Herbert is proof that agriculture and wildlife can coexist, and that thoughtful stewardship can restore what was nearly lost. In a region defined by working lands and water challenges, Herbert stands as both refuge and reminder: these ecosystems are rare, resilient, and worth protecting for generations to come.

What to Expect
