We will consider ways to minimize or ameliorate ecological challenges such as invasive species, breaking up species interactions (e.g. pollinators & plants), and population genetics.

• Discussion of potential management, restoration & conservation strategies
• Developing a watershed scale list of response strategies to facilitate adaptation

Paul Dolan, Mendocino Wine Co.

Paul Dolan believes that business leaders can help make a better world, and he sees Mendocino County, California, as fertile ground to grow this vision. During his 27 years at Fetzer Vineyards, 12 as president, he led a transformation that put the company at the forefront of organic viticulture and sustainable business. With the purchase of Parducci winery and the creation of Mendocino Wine Company (MWC), a partnership of the Dolan and Thornhill families, the mantle of leadership in sustainable winegrowing shifted from Fetzer to MWC, while remaining cradled in the open, creative atmosphere of Mendocino County. “We want to make a difference in this community,” says Paul, “and we are.”
