1996 - 2021
Celebrating 25 years
Established in 1996, LandPaths is a nonprofit community conservation organization with the mission of fostering a love of the land in Sonoma County.
We do this by:
- Rooting youth in nature
- Branching out conservation for everyone
- Growing community with nature
You’re invited: Celebrate LandPaths’ 25th Anniversary – all year long!
Covid-19 Response – Updated September 1, 2021
LandPaths’ commitment to the health of everyone in our community has only strengthened during the mental, physical, and financial challenges of Covid-19.
Our Initiatives
Get Kids Outside
Rooting Youth in Nature
Play in nature reduces stress, promotes healthy sleep, enhances creativity and self-respect in children. Learning in nature has been proven to improve academic achievement, problem solving, social awareness and enthusiasm for school.
We reduce the barriers and expand opportunities to get outside so that more children can reap the benefits found in nature.
Community Care
Growing Community with Nature
As we face a climate crisis, LandPaths more than ever believes in the importance of forging essential connections between people and the land. From stewardship opportunities to multi-day treks across the land to community gardens and collective gatherings in nature, we address community care from many angles. Every one equally important.

Our beloved Rancho Mark West was hit hard by the Glass Fire last year and we saw high tree mortality. Many of the dead trees had to be logged since they posed a risk of falling. Now that the forest is safe to enter we can lend Rancho Mark West a hand.
Tasks for this workday: During this workday, we will be creating small burn piles from the branches that have been left from the salvage logging. We hope you can join us!

- Hora:
- Líder: Elias Lopez
- Dónde: Reserva Ecológica Bohemia
¡Dale una mano a la naturaleza! ¡Ven y únete a nosotros en la impresionante Reserva Ecológica Bohemia de 1,000 acres para un día de administración, construcción de comunidad, un poco de ejercicio y algo de diversión! Este día de trabajo nos centraremos en la reducción de la carga de combustible. Al cortar las ramas bajas de los árboles y algunos abetos douglas pequeños, estamos reduciendo el riesgo de que un incendio alcance el dosel.
No se requiere experiencia. LandPaths proporcionará otras herramientas necesarias. Si tiene herramientas en casa, puede traerlas. ¡Sin herramientas eléctricas, por favor!
