Solano Land Trust
|
Solano Land Trust strives to permanently protect natural areas, working farms, and ranchlands in Solano County, while also connecting the community to these lands. Their five anchor properties include three in Fairfield and Suisun – Lynch Canyon, Rush Ranch and Rockville Trails. These lands represent the rich and varied landscape that makes Solano County unique. From rare vernal pools to tidal marsh wetlands to rolling serpentine grasslands, the properties serve an important role in preserving these habitats for residents in the local community, the Greater Bay Area and all of California.

Sausalito and Muir Woods
|
The houseboat community in the charming town of Sausalito began before the hippie movement of the 60s and 70s. These docks were shipyards where they built boats for the US navy. The warships used in the Normandy landings came from here and some of the boats that never made it to Europe later became home to shipbuilders and dockworkers who needed cheap housing after the war. Later, young beatniks discovered this incredible, natural way of life on the water and that's how it all began. This will be the perfect backdrop to explore this region's rich biodiversity, including the rare morning serenity of an ancient redwood forest in Muir Woods.

South Lake Tahoe
|
One of the most stunning locations on earth, Tahoe is the place of windswept mountains, life-giving forests, clean air, and pure water. Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevadas, situated at an elevation of 6,225 along the border between California and Nevada. The largest Alpine lake in North America, and second deepest in the United States, it is known for the clarity of its water and the stunning panorama of surrounding mountains and forests on all sides. This will be the perfect backdrop for our Shinrin-Yoku series, an ancient Japanese practice wherein we will experience the benefits of bathing in the atmosphere of the forest.
