Join Richard & Cathy Christo for this tour of Solano Land Trust’s newly acquired Rockville Trails property! Take advantage of this opportunity if you can because access to Rockville Trails is only by docent-led hikes at this time. Space is limited and registration is required.

Also recommended: binoculars, camera, bug repellent, hiking sticks. WHAT TO BE PREPARED FOR: Participants of all ages are welcome, but they must be prepared to hike up and down hills at an intermediate pace.

Since the park is otherwise closed, the entry and exit gate will be locked except for the start and end times of the hike. There is no drinking water. There are no bathrooms. Take only pictures, leave only footprints, and maintain a safe distance from wildlife (for example, rattlesnakes). Register online or call Cathy at 707-745-1913. Space is limited.
