🌿A new way to experience the Laguna!

The AmeriCorps Trail in Sebastopol’s Laguna Wetlands Preserve is now fully connected and open to the public, thanks to a new pedestrian bridge over spring-fed Zimpher Creek. This long-anticipated, half-mile trail offers a beautiful new way to explore the Laguna.

The Laguna de Santa Rosa Foundation, with financial support from the Sonoma Water Watershed Partners Program, has worked to restore important habitat along both sides of the new bridge, carefully planning plantings around the bridge location and trail alignment.

The bridge project was supported by Sonoma County Ag + Open Space and the City of Sebastopol, California.
