Join LandPaths and Ag + Open Space for an evening of stargazing at the beautiful Cooley Ranch. Straddling Sonoma & Mendocino counties, the over 19,000 acres of Cooley Ranch is the perfect place to get an unobstructed view of the night sky. We'll spread out our blankets & camp chairs, share a potluck dinner, & enjoy stories & information from experienced astronomers Jim and Linda, from Wine Country Star Party.
Where: We will meet at 6:00 pm & caravan into the property (about 30 min – make sure you have enough gas). As it gets dark we’ll gather for the evening under the stars with chairs & blankets to enjoy the night sky. We will all depart the property together as a group. Please RSVP for our carpool location.
What to bring:
- warm clothing in layers

Ag + Open Space protects land in Sonoma County and LandPaths connects you with that land. This program is made possible through a partnership between the District and non-profit partner LandPaths. It is sponsored by the voters of Sonoma County who funded the District's work with a quarter-cent sales tax, and is coordinated & guided by LandPaths.
