Sonoma County is under siege. This is an urgent plea for everyone concerned
to contact your County Supervisors and Agriculture Commissioner to impose a
moratorium on all new vineyard development in Sonoma County in order to study
the damage that is being inflicted upon our eco-system. Big alcohol and rogue winemakers have no
interest in slowing development. Giant
entities with very deep pockets are poised to snap up every available property
that comes on the market to convert into vineyards. Only those few people benefit from this
environmental wasteland that drains our natural resources and threatens native
species and habitat. Our quality of life
takes a huge hit, too.
With every new vineyard installation, we lose crop diversity,
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 contact
our board of supervisors and County Ag Commissioner to place a moratorium on new
vineyard development so we can assess the damage to the place we all live. Do it now.
