at the Baylands

On a recent trip to Sears Point Ranch, Baylands program manager John Brosnan filmed a short video on the ranch’s habitat enhancement project for the endangered California red-legged frog. John talks about how the frog is benefiting from the ranch’s new fences, which afford our cattle grazers better use of the grasslands while simultaneously assisting SLT in protecting sensitive resources across the watershed.

…to protect the land forever

The Jenner Headlands is within our grasp!

Jenner Headlands Photo The Jenner Headlands is a spectacular 5,630-acre coastal ranch, described by Sonoma County Supervisor Mike Reilly as being the “whole tiara” among a string of jewels along the coast. After nearly four years of complex negotiations, the Sonoma Land Trust has secured a contract with the landowners to purchase the Jenner Headlands. This will be the single largest conservation land acquisition in Sonoma County history.

Located north of the town of Jenner where the Russian River flows into the Pacific Ocean, and extending north along scenic Highway 1 and inland toward the town of Cazadero, this stunning coastal property offers dramatic views, redwood forests, multiple watersheds, fish-bearing streams, abundant wildlife, and more — including the opportunity to provide public access and a 2.5 mile segment to the California Coastal Trail. Without protection, the Jenner Headlands could be subdivided into more than 40 home sites.
