As a guest on the land you are welcome to explore the 240 acres of redwood forest, farm fields, and river. Please respect the cabins of other guests and our staff and refrain from harvesting food or plants from the land. Conservation of our natural habitats is at the core of our values, so we ask that while you are exploring you practice "leave no trace" and "pack it in/ pack it out." Part of providing healthy spaces for all to enjoy means treading softly on the land, with a conscious awareness for the life around us.

River

Known as the Pdahaw by the Pomo, the "Garcia River" has beautiful swimming holes to enjoy. Salmon and Steelhead call this river home, so please stick to the accessible spots and leave the rest for fish habitat.

Redwood Forest

There are two established trails; one begins by Springhouse Cabin and the other is across the Domes field up a logging road. Have fun exploring and watch for poison oak!

Farm Fields

Oz Farm has two main fields; the Main Field and Pyramid Field. Feel free to walk around and purchase produce from the farm stand near the barn and parking lot.

Wildlife

Oz is home to many birds including Red-tail Hawks, Turkey Vultures, Robins, Wrens, Hummingbirds, and Kingfishers. You may also spot tracks and scat from deer, bobcats, foxes, coyotes, and mountain lions.
