The article presents information on the Sonoma Valley wildlife corridor. A couple of thoroughfares cut perpendicularly through the corridor and as a result break patches of oak woodland and savanna into various sections. Biologist Paul Beier first recognized the significance of corridors in his study in Southern California with mountain lions, which he observed were moving between protected areas to search for resources.
