You won’t be surprised to learn that Grassroots Ecology staff members love California wildflowers! We steward open spaces in the San Francisco Bay Area that host a diversity of native wildflowers, and we want to share the wildflower love by telling you about some of our favorite wildflower hikes and viewing opportunities where we work.

Paul Heiple is a champion of restoring local ecosystems. For over 20 years, he’s been building a legacy of stewardship by educating others about the natural world. This month, we are celebrating his retirement from Grassroots Ecology.
