Last Hawthorne Hike of the school year!



Join us for a special last Hawthorne hike at Johnson Ranch Trail on Saturday May 23 at 1pm.

Getting to trail head



Join Lucia Baesemann from the City of San Luis Obispo’s Office of Sustainability and Natural Resources for a family-friendly educational hike at Johnson Ranch Open Space. This easy, hour-long walk through the gentle hills of the San Luis Obispo Greenbelt will introduce participants of all ages to the plants, wildlife, and climate resilience projects helping protect this cherished open space for future generations.

Along the way, families will learn about hands-on efforts the City is using to adapt to climate change, including tribal-led cultural burns, regenerative grazing, tree planting, and innovative Beaver Dam Analog projects in Dry Creek. Lucia will share engaging stories and interactive insights designed to make environmental stewardship fun and accessible for kids and adults alike.

Participants will also have the opportunity to share their ideas and hopes for the City’s next Climate Action Plan update, helping shape the future of San Luis Obispo’s open spaces and natural resources together.

Hawthorne is OPEN and school starts August 14th - even as construction crews are hard at work improving our campus! We appreciate your patience during drop-off and pick-up, and we promise your child's learning (and safety) remain our top priorities. In order to keep the construction moving, PTA's typical welcome back to school event will be postponed.  Please allow a few extra minutes and follow posted signs and detours the first few weeks of school.
