Wildlife Cameras at Lafferty Ranch

Starting in late summer 2023, Friends of Lafferty Park began a project to purchase, place, and manage several wildlife cameras on the Lafferty Ranch property on Sonoma Mountain. We are grateful to the City of Petaluma for their enthusiastic permission, and to LandPaths for their consulting expertise. The most interesting photos and video clips can be found in the linked pages below, most recent first.

In August 2025, to celebrate two years of this project, we added a list of the animals we have photographed, named in English, Spanish, Latin (scientific name), and Coast Miwok.

If you have questions or suggestions about this project, contact FLP's wildlife project manager.
