2012 Emigrant Trails Bike Trek - We're Heading Back to Petaluma!

Based on excellent feedback from last year’s Trek, we will be returning to Petaluma for the 2012 Trek, before moving to a new location in 2013.

Mark your calendars for September 7-9, 2012, and don’t miss your chance to join us for three days of cycling (improved routes!), camping and FUN in Sonoma County.

More information will be available as the event approaches.


Please Remember to Check Before You Burn This Winter

Due to the potentially harmful health effects of breathing in fine and ultrafine particles, Sacramento County's mandatory Check Before You Burn program and Yolo-Solano's voluntary Don't Light Tonight program kick off on November 1, 2011.

Click here to download our free air quality iPhone app, iBreathe: Sacramento, to have burn alerts sent directly to your iPhone, iPad or iTouch.
