Around the Watershed

Video Release: Land for Nature + Wildlife

Our collaborative efforts are thriving thanks to the support of various private and public partners. Together, we’re engaged in large-scale restoration and conservation science projects aimed at revitalizing critical ecosystem functions for both wildlife and people.

One such partner is Sonoma Ag + Open Space. This short video recently released highlights our partnership to preserve the Laguna de Santa Rosa. Our work improves water quality, wildlife corridors, flood control, and provides recreational and educational opportunities for all.

Keep Rare Beauty Alive

A Defining Moment for the Laguna

In 1972, the Laguna de Santa Rosa was declared devoid of life. Our community chose a different future. Today, that decades-long commitment has led to a major milestone: a $1.05 million planning grant from the California Wildlife Conservation Board to advance a 175-acre restoration project that will restore wetlands and streams, support wildlife, and strengthen flood resilience. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we're within reach of our Spring Campaign's $250,000 goal. Every additional gift helps us finish strong while expanding restoration, science, and community engagement efforts across the watershed.

Thank you for making a gift today.
