NORTH COAST, Calif. – The Blue Ridge-Berryessa Natural Area Conservation Partnership, a group of regional stakeholders working together to conserve the Blue Ridge-Berryessa Natural Area (BRBNA), will hold a meet and greet event to be held on Friday, Nov. 9.
The gathering will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Pope Valley Farm Center, 5700 Chiles Pope Valley Road, St. Helena.
According to UC Davis, “The BRBNA focuses on Blue Ridge and the lands to the east and west of the ridge, down to the Capay Valley on the east side and over towards Coyote, Long, and Pope valleys on the west. It stretches from Monticello Dam in the south to the area north of Highway 20 between Williams and Clear Lake.”
This is an opportunity to meet the new program Director Mary Adelzadeh and learn about initiatives to conserve the natural and working landscape of the region.
At the meeting, partners and members of the public will be invited to introduce themselves and their conservation work/interests in the BRBNA.
Appetizers and drinks will be served. Please R.S.V.P. by Nov. 7 by calling Mary at 530-402-5404, or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
Founded in 1997, the partnership provides a forum for public and private land managers to meet and discuss conservation activities and interests.
The group has since grown to more than 100 members, including federal and state agencies, counties and other public entities, local businesses, nonprofit organizations and conservation-minded landowners – all with the common goal of promoting collaborative conservation of the natural and working landscape of the BRBNA.
