Please bring a headlamp or flashlight and plenty of drinking water for the hike. We also recommend closed-toed shoes and long pants. This hike is a 1.5-mile out-and-back trail with a 270-foot elevation gain. It is considered 'easy to moderate,' but should not be undertaken by individuals who are not comfortable on uneven trail surfaces or hiking uphill. For safety reasons, no pets are allowed at this event. Please note: This event is located in the heart of a wilderness area. For your safety, stay close to our experienced staff and volunteers throughout the event. Potential hazards include rattlesnakes, mountain lions, poison oak, and loose footing. What is Lillian Hill? An expansive 80-acre property at Lillian Hill was placed on the market for potentially five building sites. Surrounded by National Forest, its development would have had a significant impact. We set out to buy this land to conserve it forever for the badgers, cougars, eagles, falcons, majestic oaks, and more. Now that it has been purchased, we can begin removing the scars of decades of land use and start the healing process. Directions: Google Maps: Lillian Hill Attire: Long pants and closed-toe shoes are highly recommended with layers! Items to Bring: Headlamp, drinking water, light jacket, and a snack. Additional Notes: Download directions before leaving Descanso, as cell service is spotty in this area. The nearest restroom is located at the Three Sisters Trailhead parking lot, five minutes further up Boulder Creek Road. To reach the preserve, you’ll travel on a dirt road, which is in good condition and suitable for sedan cars. For safety reasons, no pets are allowed at this event.

Ana Maria Herrera: Layered Memories January 11–March 14, 2025 Opening Reception: Saturday, January 11, 5 p.m. – 8 p.m., during the Barrio Art Crawl Ana María Herrera’s work explores identity, displacement, and cultural coexistence through an intricate blend of found objects and diverse materials, such as wood, glass, metal, and fabric. Her compositions reflect the ephemeral nature of existence, particularly in the border region, where the complexities of migration and cultural negotiation are ever-present. By incorporating photographs, textiles, and three-dimensional elements, Herrera examines the emotional and physical boundaries that shape personal and collective identities, addressing themes of vulnerability, resistance, and resilience within the contemporary sociopolitical landscape. Herrera engages with layered complexities of human existence, crafting assemblages that challenge traditional notions of representation and foster dialogue about the realities of border life. Using windows and frames as both physical and symbolic elements, Herrera invites viewers to contemplate the tension between visibility and obscurity. These pieces serve as portals into narratives of migration and belonging while subtly addressing issues of surveillance and power dynamics. This exhibition encourages a critical examination of the intersection of culture, history, and memory in the shaping of individual and collective identities in an increasingly interconnected world. Ana María Herrera—Artist Statement In my assemblage art, I draw from the aged and textured materials of the past—pieces like rusted metal chains, weathered wood from light poles, bicycle wheels, pressure gauges, and electrical meters. These objects, marked by time and mystery, serve as silent witnesses to countless stories, histories, and transformations, much like the wisdom of an elder etched by years of experience. I am drawn to their deep tones and weathered surfaces, each item resonating with lives lived and “time stories” I may never fully understand. This uncertainty around their origins only enhances my appreciation, allowing me to create without the constraints of their original purpose and instead invite viewers to interpret their own narratives within these materials. In each assemblage, I work to honor the age, history, and hidden memories within these objects. Through layering and reimagining, I hope to give them new life, encouraging viewers to look closely, question, and connect with the unseen past that each object holds. Ultimately, my art celebrates the beauty in things long overlooked, encouraging a reverence for the history that surrounds us and inviting curiosity about what once was.
