What we’re about
Solano Land Trust offers fun activities for you, your friends, and your family. These include guided hikes (many are free!) and volunteer opportunities every month, as well as special events like our annual Rush Ranch Open House, Lynch Canyon Kite Festival, and Lynch Canyon Trail Run & Community Hike. We also offer other activities like HOGA (hiking + yoga), jogging/running, horse-drawn wagon rides, blacksmithing, and science discovery labs. All of these activities happen in beautiful places that Solano Land Trust has protected forever. Our mission is to protect land to ensure a healthy environment, keep ranching and farming families on their properties, and inspire a love of the land. We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit public-benefit organization. We meet national standards for excellence, uphold the public trust and ensure that conservation efforts are permanent, as recognized by our national accreditation. Come join us on our lands and learn more at www.solanolandtrust.org!

Bird of Prey season is back!

Each year from fall through late winter, raptor expert Larry Broderick of West County Hawkwatch leads weekend hikes and workshops so people can learn about the birds of prey that call the Solano Land Trust properties their home.
During this viewing season, bring your binoculars and join a group to see the magnificent bids that rely on our protected agricultural open spaces for habitat. Birders of all levels of experience are welcome.
Dedicated to Ken Poerner
By request, Larry Broderick would like to dedicate this year’s Bird of Prey season in honor of our dear friend Ken Poerner, whose tireless dedication to conservation touched every aspect of Solano Land Trust’s work. Ken passed in early June of this year after a ten-year battle with cancer. It was Ken who first introduced the Solano Land Trust to Larry, and Larry’s expertise and passion have been an invaluable asset to the land trust and the community we serve for many years.***
