Communications Specialist

Are you passionate about storytelling, building relationships, and inspiring others? Join Solano Land Trust, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Solano County's open spaces, working lands, and natural resources for future generations.

The work we do goes beyond conserving land; it’s also about ensuring people’s relationship to the land remains strong. We are committed to building a conservation and stewardship ethic in our community by supporting values based on common ground and engaging the future leaders and land stewards who will come after us to take care of this land.

Solano Land Trust was founded in 1986 as the Solano County Farmlands and Open Space Foundation as a result of open space advocates, land developers and a municipal government working together to benefit the whole community. This unusual genesis created the structure for a board of directors that reflects all sides of land-use issues united in the mission to preserve the agricultural legacy and natural landscapes of Solano County and enhance people’s relationship to the land.

With your support, Solano Land Trust has permanently protected over 25,000 acres of natural areas and agricultural lands.
