Here is the letter I sent to the Ag Commish this morning. You can cut an paste if you like:
Sonoma County has become a mono-culture of vineyards. New vineyard development is robbing us of
habitat and beneficial landscapes that contributes to our quality of life. With every new vineyard that goes in -
vineyards that provide no benefit to anyone except big alcohol concerns and the
people who own them, we lose the diversity of fruit trees, parkland and
precious land that provides a habitat for the native species that makes this
one of the most beautiful places on the planet.
And it is being destroyed by greed without any regard to our
community. Please place a moratorium on
new vineyard development so we can assess the damage to the place we all
live. Thank you.
