We foster a love of the land in Sonoma County

Redwood Seedling Stewardship Week 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.

This month, June 21 – 24, we are looking for a few dedicated volunteers to help us continue the work of tending the trees. Ideally, you can return each day from 8am to 12pm. And then stay for a casual lunch provided by LandPaths! But if you can’t come by everyday, we can arrange for you to drop-in and help when you are available.

Volunteer Stewardship Day at Bohemia Preserve

You are warmly invited to lend a hand at Bohemia Ecological Preserve for the health of the forest, soil, and grasslands! This 1,000 acre protected, open space, people-powered preserve in West Sonoma County teems with old-growth forest, oak woodlands, native grasslands, and a legendary waterfall. Several endangered and at-risk species live here, including northern spotted owls, red tree voles, and Pennell’s bird’s beak.

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.

Let's Read Outside: Stories in the Garden

Join us for an exciting, outdoor, literary adventure geared towards young children ages 0-6yrs and their families/caregivers. We will share and aloud reading session at Bayer Farm, heart of Roseland, while enjoying the beauty of the garden. All participating children will walk away with a book at the end of each session to add to their collection at home. Participants will also enter a raffle for a chance to win a special hand-made reading quilt donated by our partners at Santa Rosa Quilting Guild! Most books and events will be bilingual, in English and Spanish. Pre-registration is required.

Volunteer Stewardship at Riddell Preserve

You are warmly invited to lend a hand at Riddell Preserve! This 400-acre preserve above Healdsburg’s Dry Creek Valley teems with madrones, redwoods, bays, native wildflowers and other plants, birds, and so much more! Together, we can steward the land to help it be resilient in the face of the impacts of climate change, especially wildfire. Plus, it’s fun to get outside with like-minded people, giving back to the land that gives so much to us.
