Plein Air Outings
Placer Land Trust Partners with the Tour
May 2026
Saturday, May 16 – Clover Valley Preserves, 3pm-7pm REGISTER HERE
Join us for a plein air art and photography outing! Placer Artists Tour and Placer Land Trust are partnering for these two opportunities to create art in the outdoors. This will be a self-guided stroll either Big Hill Preserve or Laursen Bear River Preserve. Seek out the oak woodlands and granite outcroppings or wildflowers in sprawling meadows to sketch, paint, and photograph the beauty that catches your eye.
This is a free event; however, donations help make these activities possible! We suggest a donation of $10 per person or $25 for a family. You can donate during registration, and we’re happy to accept cash or a check at the event in an envelope with your name written on it.
