In this video, we explore the Montane Botanic Gardens in the Oak Glen Preserve, California. The Oak Glen Preserve is part of the Wildlands Conservancy and spans over 900 acres.
Oak Glen Preserve is the home of the Wildlands Conservancy's Southern California Montane Botanic Garden and Children's Outdoor Discovery Center and includes the entire 114-year-old Los Rios Rancho Apple Farm (which sadly burned in 2020).
The Montane Botanic Garden has excellent representations of montane habitats including ponds, streams, wetlands, oak and pine forests, chaparral, and willow woodland.
Each year, more than 600,000 visitors make the scenic drive to Oak Glen to picnic, hike, participate in environmental programs, and pick apples, and enjoy homemade apple pie at Los Rios Rancho.
The Wildlands Conservancy has entered a long-term lease with third and fourth-generation Oak Glen Apple growers to operate the orchards, packing shed, and bakery.
We apologize for the lack of footage of the actual trails - our GoPro exploded on returning home. (not quite, but it felt that way) LOL
