Zoning changes, General Plan Amendments, and building permits can be stopped – but it will take your commitment and your financial support.

Don’t wait, this appeal is time sensitive, as sensitive as the eco-system of the Petaluma Wetlands, as sensitive as the developing lungs of our children. Every donation helps and is gratefully received.

Friends of Shollenberger Park thanks you for your support! We welcome your participation and input.
