Mayacamas Forum: The Once and Future Landscapes of Sonoma County

Fri, May 13th 2011, 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Dwight Center 2130 Pepperwood Preserve Road Santa Rosa, CA 95404

A presentation by Arthur Dawson, Sonoma Ecology Center

Join historical ecologist Arthur Dawson for a fascinating evening of exploring Pepperwood Preserve and the surrounding region as it was in the early 19th century. Learn how our local landscape looked and functioned at the time of European contact, the intended and unintended changes that have come about, what the future may hold in store, and how history can guide us toward making sustainable choices. The purpose of this forum is to connect landowners and land managers of the Central Mayacamas range with scientists and conservation planners working in our geographic area. We will learn about current research and implications for conserving the habitats and watersheds of our Central Mayacamas home. Please RSVP via events@pepperwoodpreserve.org and find out about the afternoon walk to Arthur Dawson's research sites at Pepperwood.
