Ecological Corridors of Sonoma County
Sonoma Ecology Center, Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District, and UC Cooperative Extension presents:
Ecological Corridors of Sonoma County
Join the group to learn how establishing corridors that allow animals and plants to move between natural areas may be essential for conserving biodiversity in parts of Sonoma County. Caitlin Cornwall of the Sonoma Ecology Center, Tom Robinson with the SCAPOSD, and others will present on-the-ground examples of corridor projects in Sonoma County.
This event also features experts on the scientific concepts and evidence regarding the use of corridors for biodiversity protection; including Jodi Hilty, William Lidicker, and Adina Merenlender, authors of "Corridor Ecology: The Science and Practice of Linking Landscapes for Biodiversity Conservation" – a recently published book that reviews conservation science and provides practical experience for maintaining, enhancing, and creating connectivity between natural areas.
Refreshments will be served. We look forward to seeing you there!
Directions:
FROM THE SOUTH to southern Sonoma Valley:
Take the Hwy 37 exit off Hwy 101. Go north to Hwy 121 at Sears Point. Turn north (left) onto Hwy 121. Proceed approximately 5 miles to the Hwy 116 junction. Go straight through the intersection onto 116.
FROM THE EAST to southern Sonoma Valley:
Take the Hwy 12 exit off Interstate 80, following signs for Napa/Sonoma. Follow Hwy 12 through the hills, past the Napa turnoff, through more hills, past the Broadway turnoff for the city of Sonoma, to a stop sign. Turn north on Hwy 116.
FROM SOUTHERN SONOMA VALLEY to Sonoma Developmental Center:
Proceed about 2 miles on Hwy 116. Just before the traffic light at Arnold Drive, veer right onto Arnold Dr. toward Glen Ellen. (116 turns to the left toward Petaluma). Proceed approximately 6 miles through several traffic lights to Sonoma Developmental Center, which looks like a college campus. At the Center's second stop sign (main intersection), turn left onto Harney.
FROM THE NORTH to Sonoma Developmental Center:
From Hwy 12, 3 miles south of Kenwood, turn right onto Arnold Dr., following signs for Glen Ellen. Proceed on Arnold Drive through Glen Ellen, approximately 2 miles to Sonoma Developmental Center, which looks like a college campus. At the main Sonoma Developmental Center intersection (the first stop sign inside the campus) turn right onto Harney.
TO THE MEETING ROOM:
Turn west from Arnold Drive at the main intersection of the Developmental Center. When the road dead-ends after one block, turn left onto Sonoma. Take the first right onto Wilson. MacDougall is the first building on the left, at the southwest corner of Wilson and Sonoma. Park on the street, obeying signs, or in the lot just past the building. The meeting is in the first room on the left as you enter the door facing Wilson.
