Celebrating 25 years

Queer Youth and Allies Summer Day Camp

The Queer Youth and Allies program is a fun, safe opportunity for youth 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.

Mornings include community time, hiking adventures, as well as art and wilderness skills projects. Each afternoon we will be at the glorious pond with kayaks, canoes, stand-up paddles boards, critter catching supplies, and chill activities in the shade.

All of the staff at the Queer Youth and Allies camp identify as some form of LGBTQAI2S+. The lead counselor, Seed Minkin, is queer and non-binary trans.

Grove of Old Trees: Stewardship Workday

This beautiful preserve was the first property stewarded and owned by LandPaths – it’s one of the only privately-owned wildland preserves in Sonoma County that is publicly accessible and free to all. Your work to steward the Grove helps us in both protecting the biotic integrity of this special place and allowing the public to enjoy it!

This workday will focus on trail maintenance around the preserve.

25th Anniversary Post-Fire Ecology Hike at Riddell Preserve

Join LandPaths  and the Ag+ Open Space district for a post-fire ecology hike at Riddell Preserve. With its magnificent native grasslands, madrone stands, redwood fairy rings, and perennial springs, Riddell Preserve is a 400-acre wonderland above Dry Creek Valley. In late August 2020, the Walbridge Fire, part of the LNU Lightning Complex, spread into the western portion of Riddell. With 3/4ths of the property seeing fire, almost 300 acres of this nature preserve experienced a slower moving “ground fire.” This is a special LandPaths 25th Anniversary outing. Share your LandPaths at our Story Booth before or after the hike!
