Laguna Learning Center
Under Construction!
The Laguna Learning Center will be a site where visitors can come to learn more about the Laguna de Santa Rosa, a Wetland of International Importance.
Outdoor Learning Center
Pathways will lead visitors through a series of interpretive signs that will educate visitors about the natural and human history of the area. Landscaped with native plants the site includes beautiful views, spots to have a picnic, a bridge over a swale, a pond planted with wetland plants and an observation deck suitable for bird watching, photography, or just enjoying the vistas.
Laguna Learning Center
The barn style building pictured above is designed to fit naturally into the site and its 140 year agricultural history. The building will house our Education Program and be a spot for all variety of educational uses including those for students and the general public as well as for docent training and meetings. Field guides to the Laguna, watershed maps, Laguna Foundation ball caps and other items will be for sale in the interpretive center.
Project Partners
Thanks go to the California Coastal Conservancy which has provided primary funding for this educational facility. Thanks also go to the City of Santa Rosa which agreed to partner with the Foundation by executing a generous long term lease on the property. Additional support came from the Soroptimist International of Santa Rosa and the Bothin Foundation.
Would you like to help us complete the project? We would like to purchase additional picnic tables and benches and develop a “playscape” area for kids and we are trying to raise those funds by offering Naming and Dedication Opportunities
