Tour Information
Public Tours
Touring Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve There are a limited number of tours conducted each year. Priority is given to groups that are most closely aligned with the Preserve's mission "to contribute to the understanding of the Earth's natural systems through research, education, and protection of the Preserve's resources."

Tours are docent-led by appointment from October 1 through May 31. Tours are conducted Friday-Sunday, generally, mid-morning and/or mid-afternoon.

During the spring months of March and April, appointments for wildflower tours are scheduled Thursday-Sunday, also for mid-morning and/or mid-afternoon.

Tour appointments must be scheduled well in advance. Children under 14 are not permitted, though infants in backpacks are permitted. Tours typically involve 2 to 2.5 hours of walking on hilly terrain.
