Help make a difference while getting fresh air and exercise on Solano County’s beautiful lands by assisting with volunteer restoration activities. Solano Land Trust has several sites we are working on this season to plant and care for new plantings, monitor past plantings and perform maintenance activities. These projects are also great team-building activities for groups or organizations. We’ll supply all the equipment; you need your own boots and gloves.

About King-Swett Ranches
A yellow-breasted meadowlark may greet you as you enter the largest protected open space in Solano County. Though not yet prepared for visitors, the 3,930-acre King-Swett Ranches, part of the Sky Valley Cordelia Hills Open Space project, is an exciting piece of property and future open space for Solano residents. Nestled between Benicia, Fairfield and Vallejo, this newly-acquired property offers serpentine grasslands, rocky outcrops, oak woodlands, and riparian corridors that host a wide variety of flora and fauna, including rare and endangered species such as the California red-legged frog, Swainson's hawk, and horned larks.
