On Wednesday, March 2, Sonoma County’s first public workshop on renewing and strengthening community separators was abuzz with conservationists, business owners, elected officials, city planners, teachers, water experts, old-timers, and new residents. Three more public workshops are planned before a first draft proposal is presented to the Sonoma County Planning Commission on May 5.
The public workshops are first big steps toward finally completing the circle of greenbelts around Sonoma County’s cities, towns, and communities! We need your support to ensure the County follows through on renewing and strengthening community separators. Below are ways you can help.
