We are all volunteers!
Our organization has always been led and managed by volunteers. Some of our volunteers are original founders of the organization, and are the reason this land is now a City park property. We couldn’t do it without our community supporters, now over 3000 members strong. Join us!

In Memoriam
Bob Gaiser was a beloved and inspirational Co-Chair of the Southeast Greenway Campaign from 2016 to 2023. He brought 40 years of experience as a retired local government planner with two cities and two counties. In his 26 years with Sonoma County, he helped develop policies for water, biotic resources, urban boundaries, geologic hazards, gravel mining, noise and stormwater.
Linda Proulx was a founding member of the Southeast Greenway Campaign, a visionary and tireless leader for the project. She served as Campaign Co-Chair and led the Communications Team. Linda enjoyed advocating for a healthy and sustainable community in partnership with so many creative and dedicated Greenway volunteers.
