The Coalition is working to:
- Retain the Sonoma Developmental Center services on the property, and explore other complementary and appropriate uses within the footprint of the facilities.
- Advocate for the permanent protection of the open land on the SDC property and the essential services it provides, such as habitat and movement corridors for wildlife, clean and ample drinking water, a place of beauty for us to enjoy, and carbon sequestration, among many others.
- Expand public access and recreation opportunities that are compatible with the protection of the property’s conservation values, including the development of trails and connections to existing trails on Sonoma Mountain, and potentially across Sonoma Valley to the complex of protected lands within the Mayacmas Mountains.
