Land Trust Public Access
Dunn-Wildlake and Archer Taylor are two of the Land Trust’s permanent preserves that offer public access via orientation meetings for each preserve.
Public Access on Dunn-Wildlake Preserve
The Land Trust has been hosting public access orientation sessions for our Dunn-Wildlake and Duff Preserves since June 2013. Portions of Wildlake-Duff are now accessible to hiking and biking for individuals who have completed an orientation.
Participants are provided with information on visitor use, the LTNC preserve network, preserve natural history and ecology and ways to get involved with land stewardship efforts. Please note that participants will also be asked to sign a liability waiver and use agreement.
For more information on the preserve itself, visit the Dunn-Wildlake Preserve page.
Guided hikes and workdays are also available for sign-up.

Public Access on Archer Taylor Preserve
Archer Taylor Preserve is open again after lengthy restoration efforts restricted recreational access due to the 2017 wildfires. Once you have completed an orientation session, you must contact the ATP caretakers at least 48 hours in advance to request permission to visit the preserve on your own for noncommercial recreational use only.
ATP caretakers Jaye Cook and Elizabeth Stevens can be reached via phone at 707-254-0996 or email at ATPHiker[at]napalandtrust.org. Those individuals who seek access for commercial use or have not completed an orientation session previously will not be granted permission.
