a trinity of agencies join parish to protect 595 acres of farmland near putah creek in winters

Fairfield, CA—Solano Land Trust and St. Anthony Parish closed escrow last week on three adjacent conservation easements that will protect 595 acres of the St. Anthony Parish Farmland Preserve near Putah Creek in Winters. The California Department of Conservation's Farmland Conservancy Program and USDA's Farm and Ranch Lands Protection Program provided grants for the agreement. The parish, which retains full ownership of the land, plans to use the equity to build a new church in Winters.

"It's a great win-win result," says St. Anthony parishioner John Hasbrook. "The easements help fulfill our stewardship responsibilities by protecting a high-quality resource in perpetuity, while the proceeds from the sale of the easements will help the parish build a new church and meditation garden for our congregation and the greater Winters community."
