McClellan Ranch Park, Nature preserve in Cupertino, United States
McClellan Ranch Park is a nature preserve in Cupertino with varied habitats, native plants, and walking paths throughout the grounds. A historic barn sits along Stevens Creek Trail in Santa Clara County.
The land functioned as a working ranch in the early 1900s before becoming a public park. It now serves environmental education and community recreation purposes.
The park offers programs where visitors learn about the animals and plants that live here, and how to care for natural spaces. These activities help people connect with the land and understand what lives in this area.
The park can be accessed through the main entrance on McClellan Road, and overflow parking is available during busy times. Wear sturdy shoes since the terrain has uneven ground and slopes along the trails.
Visitors can participate in citizen science projects where they record and document the animals and plants found on the grounds. These observation sessions help researchers track biodiversity and protect habitats.
