Sonoma Mountain Preservation (SMP) has been dedicated to advocating for open space and scenic preservation of Sonoma Mountain since 1993. Their mission is to preserve the mountain's scenic, agricultural, and natural resources by engaging people with the landscape and inspiring them to become mountain stewards. SMP works to expand recreational opportunities, represent the mountain's interests before public and private agencies, and support the development of low-impact access trails. They collaborate with other organizations in Sonoma County to protect open space and make it accessible to everyone.
SMP is deeply involved in a current lawsuit against the County of Sonoma to revise the inadequate Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and address critical environmental issues. They have also published a beautiful book called "Where the World Begins" that showcases the mountain with stunning photos and maps. SMP consists of an all-volunteer board of directors and collaborates with organizations such as Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District, Sonoma County Regional Parks, and the Sonoma Land Trust to achieve their preservation goals.
