Solano County, California – Take a break from holiday-hectic and celebrate the first day of winter on a free guided hike of Rockville Trails Preserve on Saturday, December 21st from 10am to 2pm. Get a great workout as you trek about 4 miles up and down the hilly, rocky terrain to the interior of this 1,500-acre natural area. Enjoy the majestic oaks and see how the fall rains are transforming the grasslands. Learn about the area’s natural history and watch for signs of wildlife that depend on this area for food, shelter, and safe passage. Rockville Trails Preserve is only accessible by docent-led hikes at this time.
Space is limited and advance registration is required – visit the “events calendar” at solanolandtrust.org, go to http://conta.cc/1csP7gJ or call Lorenzo at 707-330-7263. There is no drinking water, and there are no bathrooms or parking lots yet. Meet your guide, Lorenzo, promptly at the big red "Ice House" building on Suisun Valley Ct., near the intersection of Rockville Rd. and Suisun Valley Rd., outside of Fairfield. Be ready to immediately carpool or caravan from there to the trailhead. Rain cancels this event.
Solano Land Trust’s Rockville Trails Preserve is located along Rockville Road, across from the City of Fairfield’s Rockville Hills Regional Park. These natural areas are adjacent to one another, yet independently operated. Both lie between Green Valley and Suisun Valley, near Interstate 80, about half-way between San Francisco and Sacramento.
Solano Land Trust permanently protects natural areas, working farms, and ranchlands in Solano County and connects our community to these lands. Learn more at solanolandtrust.org.
