50th Anniversary Field Trip – Origins: Sonoma Valley
SLT Office -- Trip to Sonoma Valley
Saturday, April 11, 10am-4pm
Level: Gentle
Sonoma Land Trust has its origins in the Sonoma Valley, with a group of residents taking action to preserve the scenic and natural beauty of this place. On this tour, we’ll visit various properties that highlight the conservation of natural areas, including the Sonoma Valley wildlife corridor, and meet with the landowners that preserved and continue to steward these special places. Special guest Arthur Dawson will share stories about the early days of conservation. Land Acquisition Director John McCaull will talk about the Sonoma Developmental Center and other strategic land protections to preserve the wildlife corridor, and Program Manager Chris Carlson will share details about the wildlife studies that have been crucial to saving this habitat.
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!
