May 25-Hike to the Sonoma Coast

Join us for an outing to the Sonoma Coast! This four mile hike led by Forest Unlimited will cover some beautiful, diverse terrain including verdant grassy slopes and a miniature hilltop forest of oak, fir and redwood. The route will feature expansive views of the ocean and the Russian River delta.

During this educational hike we will be stopping frequently to explain some of the environmental features and history of this unique and fragile coastal area, including how the region transitioned from ranching and lumbering to a protected state park.

This hike will begin at 9am on Saturday May 25. Space is limited. Reserve your spot and get more details here.

State Senator Bill Dodd has ideas for restructuring PG&E.

Town Hall Meeting, November 19
Napa Valley College Little Theater
2277 Napa-Vallejo Highway, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) has until June 30, 2020, to restructure. If it doesn’t accomplish this, Governor Newsom has threatened that the state will take over the utility. So far PG&E’s restructuring plan favors shareholders and would raise debt and equity. But other competing groups also have plans for restructuring and takeover: big equity funds, bondholders, and municipalities offering to buy PG&E. One way or the other, ratepayers are going to be on the hook. Read more about these plans in The Economist article here.

January 4th and 5th, 2020: Our Annual Redwood Tree Planting

Join us for our annual tree planting event as we come together to plant redwood seedlings in the forests of Sonoma County. This year we will be planting in two locations, one on Saturday, January 4th and the other on Sunday, January 5th. We have confirmed that Sunday’s planting will be at the Madeleine Sone Wildlife Preserve located on Grandview Road in Sebastopol.

Last year, we were able to plant 1,400 trees on Wildwood Conservation Foundation and Retreat Center in Guerneville thanks to the help of our wonderfully dedicated volunteers even though it rained both days. If the weather does not cooperate sufficiently, the event is subject to change to the following weekend, Saturday, January 11th and Sunday January 12th.

If you would like to participate in the tree planting event, please email our Reforestation Coordinator, Harlie Cruickshank. We look forward to planting with you!
