Ag + Open Space conserves wildlands and watersheds that offer vital habitats for local wildlife to thrive, while also providing our community with clean air, fresh water, and so much more.
Sonoma County is home to a variety of habitats and ecosystems that make it one of the most biologically diverse areas of the world. The county’s unique natural landscapes include miles of undeveloped coastline, densely forested mountains, oak woodlands, chaparral, rolling grasslands, tidal marshes, freshwater lakes, streams, and vernal pools.
Our diverse landscape provides crucial habitats for unique plant and wildlife species while offering essential benefits to our communities. These natural areas filter and recharge our water, protect against floods, aid in crop pollination, and contribute to disaster resilience and climate adaptation.
By conserving an extensive and diverse system of wild lands and watersheds across the county, we protect vital habitats that allow wildlife to thrive and roam freely. These efforts ensure that our local wildlife can adapt and flourish.
