Interested in seeing future lands of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) at Fort Ord? Consider joining us on a nature walk in portions of the Fort Ord National Monument that are currently restricted to the public. On May 9, 2026, we will host two walking tours of cleared areas within the Impact Area.
The Nature Walks will depart from the Bureau of Land Management Work Center where you must attend a mandatory safety briefing. You will receive permission to drive your private vehicle to the BLM Work Center for this specific event only. If adverse weather conditions such as lightning and heavy rain are present, the walks will be canceled. Check here for the most up-to-date information.
Dogs or any other pets are not allowed on the Nature Walk.
