Wine & Wild – Sheep

Join the Parks Foundation for an engaging presentation, the third installment of our 2026 Wine & Wild education series—where nature, community, and great wine come together. We will be joined by guest presenter Cori Carlson of Nature Protein Pasture to discuss the important role sheep grazing plays in managing American Canyon’s open space.
We will explore the surprising connections between grazing animals, healthy soils, thriving wildlife, and clean waterways. Through stories, photos, and examples from right here in American Canyon, you’ll discover how carefully managed grazing benefits native grasslands, supports birds and pollinators, improves watershed health, and helps create more resilient ecosystems. From the microscopic organisms living beneath our feet to the hawks soaring overhead, every part of our local environment is connected. Learn how healthy soils store water, support native plants, improve habitat for wildlife, and contribute to the health of the Napa River watershed. You’ll also learn why grazing has long been a natural part of California’s grassland ecosystems and how today’s land managers use sheep as one of several tools to care for parks, open spaces, and natural areas.

 

Arrive early for the wine social beginning at 5:30 pm, purchase a glass of wine, and connect with fellow community members before diving into the wildlife presentation at 6:00 pm for a fascinating look at the world of native bees. Legend Napa Valley will be our host for the evening. Legend Napa Valley is the custom crush pad located at the top of Napa Junction Rd. Follow Napa Junction Rd past the Little League fields and the new home construction. Make your way to the top of the hill and veer to the right to park in the gravel lot in front of the facility. Wine & Wild is a free, wildlife education series presented by the American Canyon Community & Parks Foundation. The quarterly series features docent-led presentations hosted by local partner wineries. Wildlife presentations are approximately one-hour and may include meet and greets with ambassador animals when appropriate. The wildlife presentation is free and open to the public.
