50th Anniversary Field Trip – Adapting to Rising Waters: San Pablo Baylands
SLT Office -- Trip to San Pablo Baylands
Saturday, June 13, 10am-4pm
Level: Gentle
The San Pablo Baylands have long been a focal area for Sonoma Land Trust’s conservation work. From its first tidal marsh land donation in 1983, SLT has steadily worked on protecting this broad swath of land where Sonoma County meets the Bay, from the Petaluma River to Sonoma Creek. Special guest Wendy Eliot, former SLT Conservation Director, will share the stories of how that first land donation sparked a decades-long initiative to bring back the tidal marsh and ensure habitat protections as a buffer to sea-level rise. Julian Meisler, Associate Stewardship Director, will talk about our current and future conservation and restoration plans.
50th Anniversary Field Trips
Join Sonoma Land Trust on a series of regional tours throughout Sonoma County, highlighting 50 years of land conservation! We’ll visit a variety of protected lands that showcase our work throughout the landscape. We’ll hear from staff and special guest speakers, and get to see the land from perspectives not often seen.
These tours are designed to be accessible to people of all abilities. Transportation, lunch, and snacks provided. Plus, get special Sonoma Land Trust 50th Anniversary souvenirs!
