Arnold Boulder Mountain Preserve spans 19 acres, showcasing coastal sage scrub and chaparral. With 2 miles of diverse hiking trails, it hosts over 100 native plant species, including Oaks, Ferns, Mariposa Lilies, and Sages. In addition, the preserve features an impressive Mediterranean botanical collection from around the world.

Support Our Cause

All proceeds from the event will benefit CNPS San Diego’s Vernal Pool Preserve in Miramar, specifically for Phase II of the “Take Down the Dirty Dozen” project. These funds will facilitate the removal of twelve eucalyptus trees, which currently pose a threat to the growth of rare plants and animals in the vernal pools. The eucalyptus trees will be replaced by Toyons and the vernal pools will be returned to their original glory!
