Who We Are
Since 1990, Sonoma Ecology Center has worked to increase appreciation and stewardship of Sonoma Valley’s natural heritage and create measurable benefits in areas of land, water, climate change and biodiversity.
Vision
We envision a future where people, land, water, and wildlife thrive.
Mission
Our mission is to work with our community to identify and lead actions that achieve and sustain ecological health in Sonoma Valley.
We have launched tendingtheland.org, an easily accessible and comprehensive resource for anyone who stewards land. Tending the Land for Fire Resilience in Sonoma County helps you understand, plan, and execute land stewardship practices in the wider landscape beyond defensible space.
