The  UCSF Mt. Sutro OSP is a 61 acre fragment of the more than 2000 acres of  trees planted by Adolf Sutro in the late 19th century, and now cared  for by the Sutro Stewards (https://www.sutrostewards.org/trail-map). We  will be walking about 2 miles of trails through the forest and around  the summit. There will be some uphill climbing and the trails are  narrow, unpaved, and can be rocky in places. Winter birds such as Fox  Sparrow and Ruby-crowned Kinglets are abundant. Mt. Sutro is also a  great place to get close views and listening opportunities of some of  the San Francisco resident species.    Parking  and meeting at the UCSF Woods Lot at 100 Medical Center Way at 8:30am.  We are given permission through UCSF/Sutro Stewards to use the parking  lot for the morning of 12/21, you can disregard the permit only signs.  The restrooms are located at the Aldea Community Center, 155 Johnstone  Way, and we will make our way over there through the trails about one  hour in to the walk. If you need directions or advice on how to get  there, please email us at wlgrover@gmail.com, or pjgreene@sonic.net.  

Bring binoculars if you have them!
