The group, which LandPaths Executive Director Craig Anderson has called “a floating conference” resumed this morning in Cloverdale. Anderson checked in with KRCB News Director Bruce Robinson from midstream earlier this afternoon with an update.

The week’s outing will reach Healdsburg’s Memorial Beach tomorrow, where LandPaths is hosting a pop-up “Stone Soup” dinner with local veggies, lamb tacos and additional pot luck harvest items and libations welcomed .(Details below) A final three-day expedition in early October will complete the descent the rest of the way to the Pacific. More information about the entire series of activities can be found online here.
Dear Friends-
In case you are available THIS Thursday and want to join in what we hope to be a fun and spontaneous celebration of the Russian River -- towards a healthier future for land and people - please read on.
This "pop up" dinner -- local vegetable and lamb tacos -- is part of a larger "Confluence" envisioned by Supervisor James Gore and powered by a number of NGO's and community interests. At this dinner we will extol the many efforts happening concurrently to move the Russian River towards a place of greater health, including Measure J on the November ballot to help insure better funding for Sonoma County Regional Parks!

LandPaths is proud to partner with The Russian RiverKeeper to make this meal as part of a "ten day descent from headwaters to sea" of the Russian River possible - featuring seemingly disparate groups and interests camping together, paddling together and breaking bread.
Sponsorship has been provided by a number of regional partners - all private foundations, NGOs and local businesses and we appreciate their support.
The trip is designed and inspired by LandPaths' TrekSonoma Initiative - linking our landscape thru multi-day expeditions for people of ages and backgrounds, traveling by foot and paddle and pedal without the internal combustion engine!
