HEALDSBURG RIDGE ‘Diggers Bend’ Healdsburg, California

The Healdsburg Ridge lands are made up of the Fox, Callahan and former Healdsburg Ridge properties to the east of the city of Healdsburg.  The ridge is adjacent to ‘Diggers Bend’ on the Russian River and is framed to the south by Fitch Mountain.  Views of Healdsburg and Mount St. Helena are also laid out for local visitors who enjoy hiking or sightseeing on the ridgetop.  The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District acquired conservation easements on Healdsburg Ridge and Fitch Mountain between 1994 to 1996.  Future plans call for the creation of a nature preserve on the Callahan property when it is transferred to the city of Healdsburg.

The Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District was formed in 1990 by a vote of the people of Sonoma County to help halt the growing loss of farmland and natural scenic landscapes in the County.  By the end of 1998 the District had protected over 11 properties totaling 28,000 acres.  For more information contact the District at (707) 524-7360
