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.
