Riverfront Regional Park is popular with hikers, equestrians, and fishermen. Its two lakes with three miles of shoreline offer access to thousands of fishermen throughout the year. Join us as we clean the shorelines of Lakes Benoist and Wilson, with an emphasis on removing fishing line. Discarded fishing line is deadly to birds and other wildlife. Removing it will improve habitat for birds such as Mallard, Bufflehead, Common Merganser, Ruddy Duck, Pied-billed Grebe, Double-crested Cormorant, American Coot, and Belted Kingfisher. All tools, gloves, and materials will be supplied by Regional Parks. Snacks, water, and cold drinks will be on hand for volunteers. Registration required.
We recommend participants dress in layers, wear comfortable, closed toe hiking shoes and bring a hat and sunscreen. Most programs will happen rain or shine, but may be canceled during heavy rains, heavy smoke, or extreme temperatures. Accommodations will be made for visitors with disabilities upon advance request. Parking fees are waived for volunteers. For more information, contact ParkPrograms@sonomacounty.gov.
