Filoli’s Service Learning is a chance for the local community to give back to the Historic Estate. Nestled against the Santa Cruz Mountains, Filoli’s Natural Lands are enjoyed by thousands of guests every year and are home to a variety of flora and fauna. We'll start the day with a guided hike and then clear trails of brush and obstacles so they are open and easy to navigate. Learn more about Filoli’s nature trails during a talk from a Filoli expert, our Natural Lands Manager.
