Summary
Describes how California winemaker Sam Sebastiani restored a field on his property to its natural condition, a freshwater marsh, with the help of Ducks Unlimited, creating a ninety-acre preserve that is home to 156 species of birds and other wildlife.
(view table of contents)Amazon.com description: Product Description: One winter day in 1988, as he surveyed his newly purchased land in California's wine country, Sam Sebastiani made a bold decision: He would plant vines on his hillside but he would restore the hayfield below it to its natural condition - a freshwater marsh. The road to realizing this vision was mined with difficulties but Sebastiani persevered, and with the help of Ducks Unlimited, he succeeded in creating a 90-acre preserve that is now home to 156 bird species and a host of other wildlife.
In The Winemaker's Marsh, award-winning author Kenneth Brower chronicles a year in the life of the restored wetland. He draws parallels between the seasonal transformations of the marsh and the shifting fortunes of Sebastiani himself, sketching a sensitive portrait of the environment and the man. As a perfect complement to the text, Michael Sewell's stunning photographs reveal a landscape of subtle splendor and surprising diversity.
