Glen Oaks Ranch Preserve

Discover the history, beauty, and ecological significance of Glen Oaks Ranch Preserve, a 236-acre landscape in the heart of Sonoma Valley. Home to one of the valley’s oldest residences—a Civil War-era stone mansion—the preserve features oak woodlands, open meadows, vineyards, and the waters of Stuart Creek. Donated to Sonoma Land Trust in 2002, Glen Oaks Ranch Preserve protects vital wildlife habitat while offering opportunities to connect with Sonoma County’s rich natural and cultural heritage.

Oak Hill Farm

A new generation at Oak Hill Farm is carrying forward a decades-long family legacy of sustainable agriculture and land stewardship in Sonoma Valley. Arden Bucklin-Sporer and Kate Bucklin care for the 677-acre working farm originally shaped by Anne and Otto Teller, early organic farming pioneers and founding supporters of Sonoma Land Trust. Today, they are building on that foundation by strengthening ecological practices, including prescribed fire, grazing, and habitat restoration, while maintaining Oak Hill as a productive and resilient working landscape protected in perpetuity through conservation.
