🌲 RTA SAYS YES ON MEASURE H! 🌲

Healthy parks. Thriving communities. More access to the outdoors. 💚

Redwood Trails Alliance is proud to support Measure H and continued investment in Sonoma County’s parks and open spaces!

Renewing this dedicated local funding helps keep our parks clean, safe, accessible, and resilient—from addressing trail erosion and maintaining park infrastructure to caring for the public lands that bring our communities together.

At RTA, we believe in more trails and better trails for everyone. Whether you hike, bike, run, ride horses, or simply enjoy time outdoors, we all benefit from well-maintained parks and trails.

Investing in our parks means investing in our communities, our natural landscapes, and future generations. 🌿

Let’s keep Sonoma County’s parks thriving. Vote YES on Measure H! 🗳️

🎸 WE’RE GETTING THE BAND BACK TOGETHER! 🌲

The RTA Trail Committee is getting together at Trail House in Santa Rosa on Monday, October 12, from 5:30–7:00 PM—and we want you in the band. 🤘

We’ll kick things off with 20 minutes of social time, then turn up the volume on what’s happening across our trails:

🥾 What are we working on now?
🌲 What’s coming next?
💡 What should we be working on?
🛠️ How can you help?
📣 What issues, ideas or concerns do you have?

RTA staff and Board Directors will share an update on current and future projects, but this meeting is just as much about hearing from you. Members and the public are all welcome.

And when the Trail Committee wraps at 7:00, the band keeps playing! 🎶 Staff and Board will stick around for a planning session for our November 7 Annual Member Dinner, and you’re welcome to stay and help us put the show together.

📍 Trail House, Santa Rosa
📅 Monday, October 12
⏰ 5:30–7:00 PM

🎟️ RSVP at trailsalliance.org/events

Come hang out. Talk trails. Bring your ideas. Let’s make some noise about the future of our trails! 🤘🌲

Redwood Trails Alliance supports Napa County’s Measure B because it aligns closely with our commitment to stewardship, education, and creating more trails and better trails for our diverse communities.

Measure B invests in three interconnected priorities—wildfire preparedness, watershed protection, and open space preservation—that are essential to healthy landscapes and sustainable access to the outdoors. Protecting watersheds, preserving open space, reducing wildfire risk, and maintaining safe access to parks all contribute to the places where trails thrive and communities connect with nature.

For RTA, good trails begin with healthy, well-stewarded landscapes. We’re proud to endorse Measure B and its investment in Napa County’s natural resources and future.

🪨 Placing “gargoyle” rocks to keep users on the trail and protect surrounding resources

🎉 The trails are connected!

Today, a stellar team of volunteers joined our professional trail crew to complete the final connection between McLeod Trail and Dan’s Wild Ride Trail at Moore Creek Park in Napa—another big milestone for this fantastic trail system!

We’re excited for you to get out there and explore, but we have a few important notes before you go:

🥾 No trail signs—yet. If you’re heading out, go with someone who knows the area or be prepared for a little adventure and route-finding.

🌱 Expect some loose soil. Some sections are still fresh and the soil hasn’t fully cured. That will improve once we get some moisture.

🛠️ We’re not quite finished. Our crew still has a few days of finishing work to complete over the next few weeks, and we’ll have additional volunteer days this fall and winter to really dial in the trails.

🌧️ And when the rains arrive, please stay off the new trails. New trail construction benefits tremendously from a first winter without impacts. This gives the soils time to settle and helps us identify and address any unforeseen drainage needs.

But for now… go get it! 🚵‍♀️🥾🐎

🐾 TRAIL PROFILE: CHUCK LEVINE & ZOE

Trail: Vista Trail
Place: Soda Springs Ranch Open Space Preserve, Cloverdale
Trail Word: Mindful

For Chuck Levine and his dog Zoe, the newly built Vista Trail is a place to be mindful—to slow down, take in the surroundings, and appreciate the simple experience of being outside together.

A new trail offers a new way to explore, connect with nature, and enjoy the open space—one step and one paw at a time. 🌿🐕

Swipe ➡️ to see photos from last weekend’s trail day, along with a sample of the trails and scenery you’ll find throughout the park.
