| Understanding the
environmental challenges facing Sonoma Valley requires detailed knowledge
of how our landscape has evolved through time. The Sonoma Valley Historical
Ecology Project combines the natural sciences, historical research
and the knowledge of local residents to chronicle these changes. The
benefits gained from developing the 'Story of the Land' include: providing
valuable background information from current watershed studies, helping
guide effective resotration efforts, and disseminating knowledge to
the community, thus creating a long-range perspective that will serve
as a foundation for making intelligent choices for the future. |
