Classes & Programs

Get connected to local ecosystems, learn and apply new skills, and work on important environmental challenges in a welcoming community. We warmly encourage your participation in events, workshops, tours and classes.

If you are an instructor, we can help bring your students to the preserve or environmental challenges into your classroom. Whether you are teaching a class (any discipline!) or leading an informal group, we can provide unique opportunities for student learning and independent study. Contact us for help with logistics, ideas and information.

Sonoma State University acknowledges the Coast Miwok, Central and Southern Pomo, and the Wappo as the traditional stewards of our preserved lands. Let it be acknowledged that the Sonoma State University campus is located within the traditional homelands of the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. Sonoma State offers deep gratitude to the original stewards of this land and recognizes its immense historical, spiritual, and personal significance to the Native nations and peoples of this region.
