Rockville Trails Preserve
Gateway To Solano's Western Hills
Rockville Trails Preserve epitomizes the beauty, rural character and quiet splendor that is Solano County.
Filled with stands of blue and live oaks, temporal vernal pools, wildflowers and wildlife, Rockville Trails Preserve's 1,500 acres provide a connection to our past and a vision for our future.
As you explore this land, it is easy to imagine a time when Patwin Indians walked the oak forests and stood on the highest mesa to look out over the valleys below. The forests, rugged hills and high ridges that they saw hundreds of years ago are largely unchanged. This new natural park will be the gateway for visitors from the local community, the Bay Area and the Central Valley into the western hills of Solano County and beyond.

Birds Of Prey
About The Hikes & Workshop:
Lynch Canyon provides raptors with over 1,000 undeveloped acres where they can hunt and rest. Each year from fall through late winter, Solano Land Trust docent and raptor expert, Larry Broderk, leads hikes and workshops so others can learn about the birds of prey that call Solano Land Trust properties home. During this viewing season, you can join other binocular-wielding people who appreciate the connection between Solano Land Trust's protected ranchland and open spaces and the birds that rely on those lands for habitat.
Thanks to the ongoing conservation work at Lynch Canyon, and the donors who make this work possible, the land has resident yearlong raptors in addition to its wintertime visitors. During fall and spring migration, the bird population can double or triple.
“It's a wild, remote wilderness, and yet it's right in our backyard," says Larry Broderick. “Lynch has a great prey base, and that is a testament to Solano Land Trust's ecosystem management."
