Our Mission

Building a Connected, Sustainable Sonoma Valley

At Valley of the Moon GreenLinks, our mission goes beyond creating green infrastructure—it’s about fostering a sustainable, interconnected community that thrives on environmental stewardship, ecological restoration, and equitable access to natural spaces. We believe that by linking communities through a comprehensive network of pathways, green spaces, and natural habitats, we can improve quality of life, protect ecosystems, and create a lasting positive impact on Sonoma Valley.

Ecological Restoration and Preservation

We focus on repairing and preserving vital ecosystems within Sonoma Valley. From riparian corridors to urban green spaces, our projects aim to restore natural habitats and promote biodiversity. This helps ensure that the region’s ecological functions—such as clean air, water filtration, and habitat for wildlife—remain intact for generations to come.

Green Connectivity

A key component of our mission is creating a network of green, car-free pathways that connect communities. These pathways provide safe routes for walking, cycling, and outdoor activities, reducing the reliance on cars and encouraging active transportation. Our goal is to link neighborhoods, parks, and key conservation areas, making it easier for everyone to access nature and public spaces.

Equitable Access for All

We are committed to ensuring that everyone—regardless of age, ability, or access to transportation—can enjoy Sonoma Valley’s natural beauty. By designing inclusive spaces that cater to children, seniors, and people without cars, we make sure that no one is left behind in our vision for a greener, more connected community.

Collaborative Conservation

Valley of the Moon GreenLinks is part of a larger conservation effort that spans the northern and southern boundaries of Sonoma Valley . By connecting with these broader conservation plans, we provide the “missing link” that enhances both ecological and community resilience. We work closely with local commissions, partners, and environmental organizations to achieve our shared vision of long-term sustainability.

Why Our Mission Matters



The Sonoma Valley is rich in natural beauty and biodiversity, but it also faces challenges from development, climate change, and limited public access to natural spaces. Our mission addresses these challenges head-on by:

  • Reconnecting fragmented ecosystems to ensure their health and longevity.
  • Providing safe, green access routes that reduce the dependence on vehicles.
  • Enhancing public spaces, making them accessible for everyone in the community.
  • Promoting sustainability and environmental responsibility at a local level.
