Ulistac Natural Area

Let’s look for migrating warblers, vireos, flycatchers and other songbirds! This urban open space with oak and riparian woodlands and seasonal wetland contains the last 40 acres of natural, undeveloped land along the Guadalupe River in the city of Santa Clara. Park volunteers are continuing to remove invasive species and add California native plants making this park a “must-do” during fall migration. 2 miles, flat dirt trails and paved ramps up to the levee.
