Document Description
The Authority authorized disbursement of up to $5,730,000 to Sonoma Land Trust to acquire Camp 3 Ranch, a 1,480-acre privately-owned hay farm in Sonoma County for habitat protection and restoration and open space preservation, with limited public access and recreation as Phase 3 of the San Pablo Baylands Collaborative Protection and Restoration (CPR) Project.
The diked agricultural baylands of Sonoma County, including Camp 3 Ranch, represent one of the most significant remaining opportunities for tidal wetland restoration in San Francisco Bay. In particular, Camp 3’s location as the point of outflow for adjacent protected properties makes it a keystone property for future restoration as laid out in the Sonoma Creek Bayland Strategy.
