You are invited for a summer stewardship day at Riddell Preserve. Located above Healdsburg's Dry Creek Valley, Riddell Preserve is 400 acres of beautiful open space populated with madrones, redwoods, bays, native flowers, birds, and more. Please come on out to spend time with friendly people helping to care for our trails and/or help remove plants out of place so the native plants can thrive! Plus, it's fun to get outside with like-minded people, giving back to the land that gives so much to us.
