Queer and Trans Youth and Allies Summer Programs 2022

The Queer Trans Youth and Allies program is a fun, safe opportunity for LGBTQAI2 youth and allies to be outside learning and growing with their peers. The program weaves together nature connection, wilderness skills, reflection and mindfulness practices, art, and rites of passage. Youth will learn more about themselves, the land they are on, and how to feel connected and resilient in these times.

Watercolors, Watersheds, and Wildflowers

Join LandPaths and local naturalist David Berman as we journey through the hillsides and ravines of Bohemia Preserve. Hiking along the various tributaries and waterways, we will follow waters pathway down to beautiful Dutch Bill Creek. Along the way, we will document our journey through nature journaling, observations, and water color paintings, taking in the scenery and seasonal wildflowers as we go. As a group, we will hike, learn, eat a meal, and explore together. Watercolor materials will be provided but you may bring your own if you’d like.

Aves, Humano y Agua: Observación de Aves

¡LandPaths y Sonoma Water los invita a una aventura de observación de aves por el Río Ruso! Las aves, los humanos y otros animales salvajes comparten la misma agua dentro de la cuenca del Río Ruso. Los invitamos a buscar y observar aves locales y migratorias que dependen de la cuenca del Río Ruso para su ciclo reproductivo. La mayoría de las aves que anidan lo largo del Río Ruso, como el Picogordo Tigrillo y el Chipe Amarillo, vuelan desde México, América Central y Sudamérica y se pueden observar localmente durante esta temporada. También hablaremos del sistema de suministro de agua potable y visitaremos el increíble Collector de Agua número 6, el cual solo se puede visitar con paseos guiados como este. Este paseo divertido y educativo es para individuos o familias con niños de cuarto año de primaria o mayores
