Trails with gratitude

Sonoma County’s natural beauty creates the perfect setting for embracing the spirit of thanksgiving. Here are three Sonoma County trails to inspire gratitude, introspection and, of course, appreciation for our local landscapes.

Help transform a neighborhood park

We've got big plans for Larson Park, a small but important park in The Springs area of Sonoma Valley. After years of gathering funding for the aging park, we’ll start a major renovation in 2024. We will add pickleball courts and picnic sites, renovate the ball fields and tennis courts, expand the community garden and play area and make other long-awaited upgrades. To help bring the project to fruition, the nonprofit Sonoma County Parks Foundation has announced a local supporter will match new donations for Larson, up to $100,000. Donate now and your contribution will have double the impact on the future of this park and its community.
