On June 13, 2024, our team had an opportunity to visit Glen Oaks Ranch, an anchor preserve in the Sonoma Land Trust system of protected open space in Sonoma County. Our guides led us on a short hike through the property while sharing facts about its unique history and value as a key part of the Sonoma Valley Wildlife Corridor. After the hike, we got to learn more about Sonoma Land Trust and the work they do for the community before being treated to a stroll through the historic mansion.
Sonoma Land Trust is a local, non-governmental, nonprofit organization funded largely by membership contributions. The Land Trust works closely with private landowners, Sonoma Ag + Open Space and other public agencies at all levels of government, nonprofit partners and foundations. Sonoma Land Trust is a member of the California Council of Land Trusts and is accredited by the national Land Trust Accreditation Commission. Since 1976, Sonoma Land Trust has protected nearly 58,000 acres of beautiful, productive and environmentally significant land in and around Sonoma County.
