WATER EFFICIENCY
& SAVINGS
Thank you to our exclusive event sponsor Lallemand Plant Care.
Lallemand group decided in 2006 to put its knowledge and technological assets in microbiology and fermentation for the agricultural world. And so was born the Lallemand Plant Care business unit, which has since grown significantly through the acquisition of companies specializing in plant bio protection and bio fertilization.

Marquee Speaker TBD
The RISE Leadership Award will be presented to the winery, vineyard, or industry operation that has achieved outstanding water efficiency & savings over the past year. The Awardee will give a 5-7 minute “TED Talk” on their results and impact.
Regional megafires have prompted intensive work to reduce forest fire risk, and recovery is ongoing. But what role do healthy forests play in groundwater recharge and heated debates about groundwater sustainability? How can fire fuel thinning and removing invasives help forests better survive fires, keeping trees alive and storing carbon? How can we make proactive forest management on private lands financially feasible, to reduce risk, protect carbon stores, and create a healthier watershed?
During this Salon conversation Dr. Tosha Comendant, Conservation Science Director with the Pepperwood Preserve, will share their work and research on forest stewardship, restoration, and fire recovery and the results they’ve seen for the water cycle. Chris Ott, Environmental Director for the Dry Creek Rancheria Band of Pomo Indians, will share their innovative forest fire recovery project, which has dramatically reduced treatment time and costs, and initial results for soil moisture, stream recharge, and unexpected benefits like suppressing invasives.
Enjoy wines from Charles Krug Winery and lunch by Elaine Bell Catering.
