Pepperwood Foundation
Pepperwood is a 3,200 acre preserve in the Mayacamas Mountains of Sonoma County California. We believe that human well-being hinges on the health of our natural world. Every day our scientists study Northern California’s land, water, and wildlife so we can educate our community and decision-makers about how best to care for them. Ultimately, we can all take action to protect human health and our planet, but we need the right scientific knowledge and tools to do it. Welcome to Pepperwood. Get inspired with us.
