The afternoon light in Santa Rosa slants through plane trees as you unlock an electric bike and feel the city soften under powered assistance. Pedals hum, and within minutes the urban edges give way to the Santa Rosa Creek Trail; the creek, low and confident, dares you to follow its corridor toward open fields and vineyard rows.

Conservation
