We foster a love of the land in Sonoma County

Help pull Yellow Star Thistle at Bohemia Preserve

Come on out and join our friendly stewardship staff and help keep the land healthy and resilient in the face of wildfire and other climate-change aggravated challenges, and have fun outdoors with like-minded people! Bohemia Ecological Preserve is located on the ancestral territory of the Coast Miwok, past, present, and future.

Tasks for the day: We’ll be improving the health of our grasslands by removing Yellow Starthistle (Centaurea solstitialis), an invasive that has the ability to severely out compete native grassland species. Each plant can disperse more than 35,000 seeds per year, making the removal of Yellow Starthistle a priority in our native grasslands.

Redwood Sapling Stewardship at Rancho Mark West

Last December, volunteers like you showed up for the land and community big time, joining together to plant 4400 redwood saplings over a whirlwind four-day stretch. This amazingly successful weekend of stewardship has supported LandPaths to continue to safely host community gatherings, school visits, and Owl Campers, while helping provide habitat and to heal and protect the watershed, the creek, and the overall health of the land. We are now looking for a few dedicated volunteers to help us continue the work of tending the trees by providing much needed watering- and potentially some weeding!
