About us
Just a place for millennials and late Gen Z'ers of Roseville and Sacramento to come together and make friends. This group is under new leadership and will take its time to establish events and grow.
No matter our differences, there is always more that causes us to have a common lived experience than not. Let’s make some valuable connections and have a good time while doing it.
You can expect various events to be hosted by this group. The focus will be on attending events or visiting unique locations in and near Roseville and Sacramento, that introduce us to new things we may have never tried before. This could vary from a docent-led hike at a local wildlife refuge, to taking a self-guided tour of the City of Sacramento, to just meeting up for drinks or games. Events will ultimately be member driven, on the basis of suggestions.
Anyone who happens to be a millennial or late Gen Z'er in the Roseville and Sacramento areas and would like to make friends is free to join.
There is the possibility of voluntary fees in the future, to help fund a particular event.
This group is not affiliated with any organization or business.

Stone Lakes National Wildlife Refuge - Docent Tour
The Cheesecake Factory, 1771 Arden Way, Sacramento, CA, USLet's check out a cool wildlife refuge!
Before Europeans changed the terrain of California's Central Valley forever, the Valley was one giant wetland. The Valley would be seasonally saturated by melted snow arriving from the surrounding mountains. The wetland waters would ultimately drain into the San Francisco Bay. Much of the Valley has been ditched and drained for agriculture and development over the last two centuries, but some refuges remain that conserve the remaining wetland areas in the Valley.
Stone Lakes is a wetland and wildlife life refuge south of Sacramento that protects habitat for sandhill cranes, ducks, and other wetland animals and plants. The Refuge offers docent-led tours each month in the winter. The tours are roughly 2 miles in length and are slow-paced so that visitors may take their time to check out the birds and other associated animals of the refuge.
We'll meet for carpooling at 8:00 AM in the Arden Fair mall parking lot, specifically the part of the parking lot closest to the Cheesecake Factory. We will carpool to the Refuge and park in the Blue Heron Trails parking lot. The docent tour will last roughly three hours, until noon. We'll return to Roseville and can either grab lunch or go our separate ways.
Please note:
- No pets are allowed at the Refuge. Leave your dogs home!
- There are no bathrooms during this tour at Stone Lake. Please use the restroom before we go!
- Bring water, sunscreen, insect repellent, and your phone cameras.
Your feedback on the success of this event is welcomed!

What to Bring:
To enhance your visit, we recommend: water, sunscreen, hat, snacks, insect repellent, camera, field guides, binoculars, sturdy walking shoes, wear layers, and any other personal comfort items you may need. This walk is on a gravel and dirt road, so strollers are not advised. Wheelchairs equipped with off-road tires should work well.What NOT to Bring:
Sorry, but dogs/pets must stay at home. Remember, this is a relaxed walk to learn about the refuge and we want to minimize disturbance to wildlife.About the Walk:
This is a slower paced, relaxed walk learning about the refuge and viewing wildlife from a distance, so please intend to stay with the guide. Trail consists of a 2 mile (roundtrip) flat gravel and dirt road in a normally restricted area. The walk goes near managed wetlands hosting various winter migrants such as hawks, shorebirds, Sandhill cranes, and waterfowl. The path may be muddy if it's been raining or foggy. There will be little shade as you walk, so please be prepared for being exposed to the sun. A non-flush restroom is available in the parking lot before your walk; there is NO restroom available during the walk. Children welcome, but dogs/pets must stay at home. This is a great opportunity for viewing wildlife from a distance; you are welcome to bring binoculars and a camera. Remember, the wildlife is sharing the refuge with us, so please respect their home and minimize disturbance. Please visit the Blue Heron Trails page for more information about the trails.Photo taken from the Friends of Stone Lakes NWR
