Add more physical activity to your life by having fun with great people! Many local clubs offer recreational activities at low or no cost to the public. Click on the club name to learn more and see what each group offers.

California Native Plant Society - Shasta Chapter - The California Native Plant Society leads leisurely plant identification hikes where a trip leader talks about the plants along the trail. The pace is not strenuous. Some are set up where participants meet at a trailhead, others have a meeting place in town and people can arrange carpools right there. Participants are of all ages. This is a nice way to enjoy natural surroundings, learn about natural systems and plants and to enjoy sharing time with interesting people. Calendar June 2013 (pdf)
