Making the Connections ...
Sonoma Land Trust
2008 Annual Report

Dear Friends,
In 2008, we fielded our customary array of
marathons and one spectacular sprint.
The main event for the past several years, and
for some time to come, is the long-running
acquisition of the scenic Jenner Headlands on the
coast just north of the Russian River. In 2008, we
Mark Jacobsen and Ralph Benson
made good headway lining up commitments from
our conservation partners for virtually all of the $36 million needed to purchase the property and
half of the $4 million needed to restore, manage and open the property over time. State agencies are
making major contributions to the purchase price from designated bond funds, but for now, bond
sales are on hold. To be continued.
Our commitment to protect land forever is carried out by our stewardship team and a legion
of active volunteers. This work is often not glamorous, but it is ongoing and necessary. Planning
for tidal wetlands restoration at Sears Point, bird monitoring at the Baylands, grassland studies
and grazing management at the Estero Americano, botanizing and hydrology studies at Pitkin
Marsh, trail construction at Little Black Mountain, fence building at Laufenburg Ranch and historic
building maintenance at Glen Oaks Ranch ... This list could go on for pages — it is a catalogue
of the caring stewardship that your support of the Land Trust makes possible.
The sprint was the opportunity to purchase the top of Sonoma Mountain and knit together
a mosaic of protected open space with the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open
Space District and Jack London State Historic Park. We jumped on it and were able to record a
deed within three and a half months of the land coming on the market.
The work we do would not be possible without the commitment of our individual, business
and foundation supporters acknowledged in this report. We are grateful for their overwhelming
generosity. We also want to recognize the long-term commitment of our Legacy League donors
who help to ensure the future protection of our beautiful landscapes.
We salute our many volunteers, our partner nonprofits and public agencies, and, in particular,
three remarkably innovative organizations — the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open
Space District, the California Coastal Conservancy and the California Wildlife Conservation Board.
To all, thank you!
Mark Jacobsen, Board Chair Ralph Benson, Executive Director

B
y the year 2050, the human population in the Bay Area is
expected to double. What will the impact of that increase
be on our landscapes? On our wildlife? On our grandchildren?
Thus far, the Sonoma Land Trust has protected forever
20,000 acres of environmentally sensitive land and farmland
in Sonoma County, and is poised to bring on board another
5,600 acres in 2009 with the magnificent Jenner Headlands
along the coast. With disquieting consequences on the horizon
due to climate change and habitat loss, large land acquisitions
like this one that provide connectivity to other open
lands are more essential than ever to protect the future quality
of life for all species.
PROTECTING THE JENNER HEADLANDS
After four years of complex negotiations, the Sonoma Land
Trust reached a milestone in 2008 with the signing of a contract
to purchase the Jenner Headlands. This $40 million deal will
ensure the protection of eight watersheds, multiple threatened
and endangered species, a large redwood forest and rare coastal
prairie, and the public’s access to this remarkable landscape.
The Jenner Headlands will mark the single largest conservation
land acquisition in Sonoma County, and will link to 13,000
acres already preserved along the Sonoma Coast, providing
extra protection and movement corridors for the wild animals
and plants that make this region their home.
With the advent of climate change, properties like the
Jenner Headlands, which offer substantial diversity of habitat
and varying degrees of elevation, will present species with
the best chances to adapt to whatever unpredictable changes
are in store over the next several decades. The Land Trust is
committed to managing toward a mature, old-growth redwood
forest that will benefit wildlife and improve the region’s ability
to sequester carbon.
A conservation purchase this large would be impossible
without major funding from our chief partners, who include
the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open
Space District, California Coastal Conservancy, California
Wildlife Conservation Board, National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, the U.S. Forest Service, and the Gordon
and Betty Moore Foundation. Thanks to the generosity and
commitment of these organizations, only $2 million of the
needed $40 million remained to be raised in individual
donations at the end of 2008. It is anticipated that the Land
Trust will close escrow on the Jenner Headlands in 2009.

SECURING THE LAST SIGNATURE MOUNTAINTOP
In contrast to the lengthy negotiations surrounding the Jenner
Headlands, the purchase of the 283-acre Sonoma Mountain
Ranch was completed in record time — three and a half months
to be exact. That’s almost unheard of for a conservation land
acquisition — especially one of such high value — but the
moment the Land Trust and Open Space District learned
that this property at the top of Sonoma Mountain was for
sale, staff moved swiftly to meet the landowner’s demands
for a year-end closing.
Thanks to donors to our Land Protection Fund, the Land
Trust was able to respond with alacrity to this unexpected
opportunity by making an immediate $125,000 down payment
on the $9,975,000 purchase contract. Working in concert
with the Open Space District, which now owns the top
of the mountain, and with the nimbleness that our independent,
nonprofit status affords, together we beat out a
competing offer and completed the requisite “due diligence”
investigations without delay.
In the Bay Area, all of the signature mountaintops (Mt.
Tamalpais, Mt. Diablo, Mt. Hamilton, Mt. St. Helena) were
protected for the public long ago, leaving Sonoma Mountain’s
summit the last to be held in private hands. Not anymore. On
December 30, with funding from the Open Space District
and State Coastal Conservancy, escrow closed on Sonoma
Mountain Ranch, creating a connected band of 5,500 protected
acres across the top of this picturesque mountain forming the
boundary between the Sonoma and Petaluma Valleys. Soon,
hikers will join the ranks of the other wide-ranging mammals
who meander over the mountaintop.

CONNECTING THE COMMUNITY WITH THE LAND
In 2008, 200 enthusiastic volunteers donned their hiking
boots, slathered on sunscreen and got out on the land with
our stewardship team to wrestle weeds, plant seedlings, beat
back brush, watch birds and monitor changes. All told, the
Sonoma Land Trust hosted 171 hikes, environmental education
outings, site visits, monitorings and events on the properties
we own and on which we hold conservation easements,
and volunteers contributed more than 2,100 hours of sweat
equity helping the Land Trust care for the lands we hold in
trust. Thank you, volunteers!
SUSTAINING FARMERS AND FARMLAND
More and more, Sonoma County is known as a source of the
finest of fare: artisan cheeses, organic vegetables, pastured
eggs and meats, award-winning wines and ales ... None of this
bounty is possible without maintaining our rich agricultural
lands and supporting our farmers. In September, the Sonoma
Land Trust was proud to participate in the first Slow Food
Nation conference in San Francisco by offering a “Slow Dinner”
and a “Slow Hike” to attendees from around the world.
We were the beneficiaries of an exquisite end-ofsummer
dinner benefit at Oak Hill Farm conducted by Slow
Food Sonoma Valley, and of a special autumn evening reception
at the deliciously quirky Jimtown store in Alexander
Valley. Staff and volunteers ferried our Land Trust display to
farmers’ markets throughout the county and to the delectable
Artisan Cheese Festival in Petaluma. And farmer Ken
Orchard of well-known Orchard Farms signed a lease to
grow organic vegetables at the Land Trust’s Laufenburg
Ranch in Knights Valley outside Healdsburg — putting this
historic farm back into agricultural production after several
years of some of the fields lying fallow.

WATCHING OVER AND CARING FOR THE LAND
When landowners donate a conservation easement to a land
trust, they count on the organization upholding the terms of
the easement; so when the Sonoma Land Trust deemed
activities at Lower Ranch along Highway 37 to be contrary to
the conditions of the agricultural easement we hold on the
property, we took action. When talks failed, we filed suit.
Happily, after three years, the lawsuit came to a settlement in
2008 that both SLT and the landowner feel supports the
agricultural values of the land. This case was watched all over
the country and was supported by the State Coastal Conservancy
and the California Council of Land Trusts.
Caring for the needs of the 14 highly diverse properties
owned by the Land Trust and monitoring 35 conservation
easements keeps our stewardship team on the go throughout
the seasons. During the summer, SLT began implementing
the Sears Point grazing management plan and installed more
than three miles of new cross-fencing across Sears Point Ranch
to create 11 pastures. These fields will help protect riparian
corridors, wildflower fields and an area to be enhanced as breeding
habitat for the endangered California red-legged frog.
Little Black Mountain in the West County saw increased
activity in 2008, including road work, a cabin demolition, property
clean-up, a new caretaker and research by a graduate student
on the cultural resources left by indigenous peoples. At Tolay
Creek Ranch, we conducted biological and cultural resource
assessments to collect important information about the plants,
animals, and historic and prehistoric resources.
A Friends of Glen Oaks Ranch group was formed to integrate
the historic Glen Ellen property with the local community,
while at North Parcel, skilled volunteers were coordinated
to document the abundant bird life utilizing our seasonal
wetlands. At Pitkin Marsh, we conducted extensive surveys
for the rare and endangered plants in order to target our
management, have embarked on a detailed hydrological assessment,
and began working with volunteers to control invasive
plants that threaten to overtake this unique ecosystem.
LINKING TO THE FUTURE
Between the Sonoma Land Trust and the Sonoma County
Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District, nearly
100,000 acres of the one million acres comprising our county
have been preserved — and, yet, thousands more still need
protection. With your support, you can count on your land trust
to continue to work to prevent fragmentation of the aweinspiring
Sonoma County landscapes and to foster habitat
connectivity. We will strive to engage the public with our
special properties and to instill a love of the land among our
county’s youth. Our work is in the here and now, but it is all
about the future.
Many thanks to Andrea Mackenzie, former general manager of the Sonoma
County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District (2000 – 2009),
for her collaboration, vision and leadership.
