The Explorer Newsletter

The Edgewood Explorer is our quarterly newsletter full of information about upcoming events, in-depth articles on park restoration and preservation efforts, and details on various Friends of Edgewood programs.

In Our Latest Issue

The March 2021 issue includes the Friends of Edgewood president’s message and the treasurer’s annual report for a year in which, despite shutdowns of many of its programs, the park was well-used by visitors seeking a respite from sheltering in place. Other highlights of the issue:

• With wildflower hikes on hold for a second spring, Friends of Edgewood is launching the volunteer Trail Ambassadors Program in mid-March.
• Also new along the trails: Trail Tales interpretive signs with QR codes that, when scanned with a phone, take readers to more information on our website.
• What are those arrays of colored stakes on the grassland? There’s a QR code to scan for that answer, too, or you can read the newsletter article about the Green Grass habitat restoration project.
• Plus two naturalist lessons on flora and fauna: the seven types of woodpeckers in San Mateo County, and what internal process makes a plant the color that it is.
