The City of Cotati, in partnership with the City of Rohnert Park, is proud to introduce the Eco-Wise Series, a new set of sustainability workshops designed to educate, inspire, and connect with our community. Each session will highlight the valuable environmental resources and programs available in our cities and throughout Sonoma County.
Our goal is to help residents learn practical ways to live more sustainably while enjoying an engaging and family-friendly experience. Everyone is welcome—bring your family, friends, and neighbors. Free snacks and goodies will be provided, along with opportunities to learn simple steps that make a meaningful environmental impact.
The series kicks off on February 7, 2026, with our first workshop focused on waste reduction. Participants will learn how to reduce waste at home and in the community, explore local recycling and composting programs, and discover creative ways to reuse and reduce waste.
