What we’re about
This is a group for nature lovers in the greater Sacramento Valley area. We are hikers, trail runners, mountain bikers, equestrians, volunteers and Docents who love the lands that the Sacramento Valley Conservancy protects or is in the process of protecting. We LOVE and appreciate nature and these sensitive resources. Join us at Deer Creek Hills, Camp Pollock or Rancho Seco.
Due to registration limitations on Meetup, we often have outside registration links. Your RSVP on Meetup does NOT necessarily secure your registration.
