We are settling into our new offices in Old Town Suisun, and enjoying the view. We can see Mt. Diablo from here, and know that if we launched our kayaks in the marina we'd be at Rush Ranch in 30 minutes! Stay tuned for an invitation to our open house.
We are also very excited to announce that our Rockville Trails Preserve project is open for comment. The project includes building a parking lot, staging area, and trails. See the link below to send your comments to the Solano County Planning Department.
I hope to see you outside for wildflowers at Jepson Prairie, kites at the Lynch Canyon Kite Festival, old-time fun at the Rush Ranch Open House, and the 10th Annual Lynch Canyon Trail Run and Community Hike.

Showing up for Lynch Canyon
The 10th anniversary of the Lynch Canyon Trail Run and Community Hike is just two months away. Are you ready?
We're getting the place spiffed up for the Saturday, June 3 event, and could use a few extra hands. Your rewards are to work outside with a group of like-minded people, and to eat pizza!
