Saving
Marin and Sonoma's Open Space
KRCB
TV, Channel 22, the PBS affiliate for Sonoma, Napa, and Marin
Counties, has embarked on a very important project to chronicle
what may be the Bay Area’s most important legacy. Moments
in Time is a public television documentary about the
little known fight and ongoing efforts to save and preserve
the open spaces, farmlands, and unspoiled coastline of Marin
and Sonoma Counties.
This
important documentary, which will be presented nationally
on PBS stations, is based on the books of naturalist John
Hart, The Wilderness Next Door and Farming on the Edge, and
conservationist Dr. Martin Griffin, The Saving of Marin and
Sonoma Coasts. The story will serve the entire nation as a
model of environmental preservation, stewardship of the land,
and the rebirth of our agricultural heritage.
KRCB
is actively soliciting individuals and organizations to help
fund this important project. The first phase will include
research, securing rights, scriptwriting, initial interviews,
and a short video presentation of the film’s highlights
to assist in securing full production funding. This is in
preparation for the filming and production of the entire documentary.
Additionally,
KRCB invites you to share your individual parts of this larger
story with us. We will be happy to forward your stories to
our producers. The successful completion of this project will,
of necessity, bring to light the efforts of many dedicated
people and remind us all just how close we came to losing
these treasures to unfettered development and sprawl. Please
join KRCB and help tell this pivotal story.
