Your support helps us train teachers so that they can bring their students to our properties. It also allows us to offer low- and no-cost events such as the lichens and oaks hike highlighted below.
We appreciate your generosity, and look forward to continuing to partner with you to protect land and connect our community with special places in Solano County.
To find innovative solutions to the challenges of modern living, we need a workforce skilled in science, engineering, and technology.To meet that need, the National Research Council recommended sweeping changes in the way science is taught in America, changes that push students from studying science to actually doing science.
Teachers are at the forefront of this change, and that is why we are offering a "Teachers on the Estuary" workshop this fall.

Join us on this free, docent-led hike to explore the exquisite world of lichen and oaks at Rockville Trails.
