A Special Note about Poison Oak

Poison oak flourishes throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains, where it provides food and
shelter for wildlife and aids in erosion control. It grows in the form of a bush or vine, and
when leaves are present they are in groups of three with lobed edges. Autumn poison
oak leaves turn a beautiful red and fall off, leaving bare stems. All parts of the plant
produce an oil that causes a rash on most people. Learn to identify this plant, and stay
on designated trails in order to minimize exposure.
