Since our founding in 2005, Pepperwood has established itself as a leader in crafting resilience solutions for California’s wild and working lands. Located in the heart of Sonoma County – a globally recognized biodiversity “hotspot” – Pepperwood manages a 3,200-acre biological reserve and the Dwight Center for Conservation Science. The Dwight Center serves as a conservation think tank and a hub for ecological education. 
An important refuge for more than 900 species of native plants and wildlife, our reserve is a living laboratory hosting researchers from around the world. Serving tens of thousands annually, Pepperwood’s operations are supported by individual gifts, foundation and government grants, and fee-for-service revenue. Our calling is to bring scientists and community together to ensure that local communities and our natural world continue to thrive together for generations to come.
