As a nonprofit organization, we depend on the enthusiasm, knowledge, expertise and time of our volunteers. Volunteers help us to enhance, protect and improve our properties through maintenance and restoration. They also help us to educate the public about our lands through hikes and special events. Volunteers are vital to our mission of protecting and preserving farmland, ranchland and open space in Solano County.
Make a difference by getting involved. Get fresh air while meeting new people. Learn about Solano County’s unique open spaces and share your knowledge by becoming a docent. Be part of a team that improves our trails and working-ranch structures. Join the fun at special events.
Our land is our future, so jump in with your boots on.
