Solano RCD Invites Solano County Youth Groups to Participate in Free Volunteer & Environmental Education Days Supporting Post Wildfire Habitat Restoration at Lake Solano
(Dixon, CA – March 2026) — The Solano Resource Conservation District (Solano RCD) is inviting Solano County scout troops, 4-H clubs, homeschool groups, afterschool clubs, and other youth organizations to participate in free volunteer and environmental education days at the Lake Solano Demonstration Garden during the Spring 2026 season.
These events support ongoing restoration efforts in areas of Lake Solano Park that continue to recover from the 2020 LNU Lightning Complex Fire, which significantly impacted upland habitats. By participating, youth groups will contribute to habitat recovery while also learning about local ecology and conservation.
During each volunteer day, youth participants will:
• Take part in a stewardship project such as weeding, seeding, mulching, or planting sedge plugs
• Join an engaging, age-appropriate environmental education lesson led by a member of the Solano RCD’s Education Team
Events are free of charge, and dates and times are flexible to accommodate the needs of each group.
Youth group leaders interested in scheduling a visit should contact Kristin Johns at kristin.johns@solanorcd.org. After registering, groups will receive all necessary details, including meeting location and what to expect during their visit. All tools and materials will be provided.
This work is supported by funding from the California State Coastal Conservancy.
