Please read on below for details on how LandPaths is changing to limit the risk of COVID-19 spread. We are working hard behind the scenes to adapt, be safe and fun for all!

LandPaths Outings COVID-19 Safety and awareness

We are incredibly grateful to offer outdoor programs where we can be immersed in nature and community. Although there remain unknowns around the current covid-19 pandemic, we know the need for healthy activities and the mental benefits of being outdoors are as important as ever. We are working hard to adapt to make our programs as safe as possible. We need your help to keep our programs safe and minimize the chance of exposure to Covid -19. We are complying with California and local Sonoma County health orders, along with guidance from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), as we plan for the summer activities.

We are dedicated to doing everything we can to keep our participants, volunteers, and staff safe, but there are inherent risks involved in any activity where people from separate households are gathering. The following information outlines our protocols behind providing summer programs with the lowest risk of spread of COVID19. A key element of keeping participants safe directly relates to how individuals—you – behave, during our program and prior to participating. We ask all participants, staff and volunteers to adhere to local health guidelines, such as limit contact in other areas of life, practice sanitation and wear a mask when appropriate. How you behave outside of programs directly affects everybody you come in contact with on a program. We expect that the LandPaths community will take this shared risk seriously. IF YOU, OR ANYONE YOU COME INTO CONTACT WITH SHOWS SYMPTOMS OF COVID19, YOU MUST REFRAIN FROM ATTENDING.

LandPaths programs and events will be different with amazing outdoor landscapes ready to welcome your return or first visit. By registering for one of our outdoor programs, you acknowledge that there is a risk of contracting COVID19 and you assume this risk voluntarily.
