Included will be an introduction to the Registry, a presentation by naturalist Dave Crawford about the unique natural features of the local area, and a casual social with refreshments. After the program, participants are welcome to enjoy the park’s visitor center, ski, or hike until the park closes for the day at dusk.

The Amador-Sunrise Land Registry was established by the Women’s Environmental Institute in 2008. The aim of the program is to create an informal community of private landowners who share an appreciation for the rural and natural heritage of the Amador-Sunrise area, and are interested in caring for their land in ways that protect these values. Membership in the Registry is free. Benefits include invitation to quarterly educational gatherings focused on conservation topics, and personalized ecological services, including an “Ecologist Walk-about” to learn about your land’s natural features and get ideas for possible conservation strategies.
Funding assistance to launch this new program has been provided by Embrace Open Space, which is supported in part by the McKnight Foundation. For more information about the Amador-Sunrise Registry and other programs of the Women’s Environmental Institute, please click here.
