The next NSWG meeting will take place on Tuesday, May 11 at 9 am at the offices of Walsh Vineyard Management. Two timely topics are on tap: 1) Grapegrowing and the press – Glen Martin, a former environmental reporter for the SF Chronicle, book author, and media consultant, will give a presentation about grapegrowing and the media (especially with regards to fish and water), and what grapegrowers can do to ensure accurate representation. A summary of his background is below, as are links to articles he has written. 2) Napa’s Climate Action Framework – Danielle Sinclair from Napa County Transportation and Planning Agency will briefly discuss this new document and its implications for agriculture in the county.
