Bay Nature Summer 2025

Description

Go exploring! In this special issue, we aim to help you get out to every corner of the Bay—and use all your senses. We plunge into saltwater to swim with its aquatic inhabitants. We nosh on wild herbs. We get tips for spying on snakes and for finding accessible trails. We meet the flowers that, for some reason, opt to bloom in summer. From our archives, we dig up 25 trail tales for our 25th anniversary, and we check in on the area’s most ambitious regional trail projects. Plus: jumping spiders, beaver signs, klepto gulls, and how trails shape us.
