'Trails for Taylor' Campaign Kicks Off At Sonoma Co. Parks

News from the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation:

The Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation and Sonoma County Trails Council have launched their second “Trails for Taylor” Campaign.

Donors contribute $10 to sponsor two feet of trail at Taylor Mountain Regional Park. For each $10 donation, a donor gets one opportunity to win a tent and two sleeping bags donated by Marmot.

Contributions can be made online at http://sonomacountyparksfoundation.org/trails-for-taylor/; by mail at Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation, 2300 County Center Dr., #120A, Santa Rosa, CA 95403; or by phone at (707) 565-1830.

“Taylor Mountain Regional Park currently has five miles of trails,” explained Melissa Kelley, executive director of the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation. “Ultimately, the park master plan calls for about 15 miles of trails. Campaigns like this one are critical to raising the funds that make more trail construction possible.”

Last year’s Trails for Taylor Campaign helped fund Redtail Trail, which begins at the new Petaluma Hill Road entrance to Taylor Mountain Regional Park. The trail is now open to the public.

The Trails for Taylor Campaign will run through National Public Lands Day, September 26, 2015, when the Trails Council will draw the winner.

The Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation raises funds, fosters partnerships and advocates on behalf of Sonoma County Regional Parks. The Sonoma County Trails Council works in partnership with others to advocate, plan, build and maintain a network of sustainable, shared-use trails for non-motorized recreation throughout Sonoma County.
