Storytellers at Sugaraloaf

Storytelling is humanity’s oldest artform, likely originating before the cave paintings of the Stone Age. This summer, Sonoma Ecology presents “Sugarloaf Perspectives”, a storytelling series that brings new voices and people to the park while teaching about the natural environment.

Upcoming campfire chats:

On 8/6, Megan Walla-Murphy re-introduces bear culture to Sonoma County.
