News & Events

volunteer schedule

LagunaKeepers are the Foundation's habitat restoration volunteers. Each month, in partnership with the City of Santa Rosa, we meet to give the Laguna a little hands-on love! This can mean fence removal, willow sprigging, weed control, or planting, depending on the site and the time of year.

Keepers meet at locations throughout the Laguna, but workdays are most always on a Saturday from 9am to noon. Tools, gloves, and snacks are provided, plus plenty of fresh air and camaraderie. Only heavy rain cancels LagunaKeeper events and check with us for rain dates.

Spring is our busiest season and there are lots of opportunities to participate. Our last workday before the summer break is on May 10th. Join us & become a part of the Laguna's future!
