Oil Landscape Hike with CFROG

Join us for a guided community hike as we explore the landscape of oil and gas production in our county. On this 2.4-mile hike, we’ll make a series of stops to see and learn how the land we move through has been shaped by fossil fuel development — and how communities, ecosystems, and conservation efforts are responding today.

Along the way, we’ll discuss:

• The geology that made oil possible here, history of CA and local production, and what local oil and gas is used for

• The public health and climate impacts of drilling in local neighborhoods and habitats

• Current conversations around land use, climate action, unplugged wells, and our energy transition

• The stories of people working to restore and protect these spaces!

  
  

This hike is accessible to most experience levels and moves at a conversational pace. There are 3 water crossings that are accessible for most. We’d recommend hiking poles if that would make you feel more confident. Bring water, a snack, comfortable walking shoes, sun protection, and anything else that helps you enjoy time outdoors.
