¡Únase a nosotros y a nuestros amigos de Fire Forward para un día de cuidado de la Tierra en la reserva natural Ocean Song-Meyers! En esta jornada, aprenderemos sobre la importancia del fuego en nuestros ecosistemas y cómo puede ser una herramienta vital para la salud de nuestros bosques y praderas. Recolectaremos semillas de danthonia californica, una hierba nativa que crece principalmente en california norte y central, para luego plantarlas en las zonas de quema. Además, compartiremos comida sabrosa en un ambiente de comunidad y camaradería. Ven y sé parte de este evento especial donde combinamos educación, conservación y deliciosa gastronomía. ¡Te esperamos a ti y a toda tu familia! Los niños son muy bienvenidos.

By late August, the creeks still flow on Sonoma Mountain, providing a lifeline to wildlife. Explore this unique property and discuss its future with docent and long-time public open space advocate Larry Modell. This 270-acre property is the only publicly owned land on the west side of Sonoma Mountain. Under contract with the City of Petaluma, Landpaths has been leading hikes on the land to introduce groups to its history and natural features since the summer of 2022. The hiking terrain ranges from broad, gentle meadows to steep challenging hillsides. We’ll enjoy spectacular views of the Petaluma Valley, stretching southwards to Mt. Tamalpais and Mt. Diablo, all the way to San Francisco. The trail passes through groves of venerable oak and bay trees along the Adobe Creek, with a total elevation gain of 500’. You'll enjoy panoramic vistas, and a babbling, perennial stream. The hike will be above the creek up to a vista point at the mid-point meadow, where we will stop to enjoy the panoramic views and snacks before returning to our cars. If you have any questions, please contact Roxy at roxy@landpaths or call 707-544-7284 ext 103.Upon registration you will receive an email with the exact location, driving directions, and parking information. If you don't get the email check your spam before giving us a call!
