"Preservation" Ranch?
A radio interview with
Chris Poehlmann & Peter Baye
on Fred Adlers' "Coastal Interviews"
The Tide, KTDE 100.5 FM, Gualala

Friends of the Gualala River representatives Chris Poehlmann (VP) and Peter Baye will be Fred Alder's guests on the next "Coastal Interviews."
The discussion will be concerning the 1700 acre plus vineyard conversion project proposal, the largest conversion of coastal forestland to vineyards ever proposed in California, located in the heart of the undeveloped Gualala River watershed around Annapolis. It would transform the rugged and remote landscape of northwestern Sonoma County, and have profound eclogoic impact.
The programs airs on Sunday, October 4 at 9:30 a.m. and re-airs on Wednesday, October 7 at 6:00 p.m., and then again the following week, Sunday, October 11 at 9:30 a.m. and Wednesday, October 14 at 6:00 p.m. on The Tide, KTDE 100.5 FM.
Topics covered include: water supply and quality for Gualala and The Sea Ranch, emergency and normal pesticide use, wildlife impacts, CalPERS public funding, developer promises on "organic," domestic-only well pumping even during droughts, climate change and feasibility ...even non-native bullfrog invasions.
