Napa County Measure C would strengthen protections for oak woodland and water resources against development. Proponents say that the measure is critical to preventing deforestation, protecting watersheds and curbing over-development.

We’ll talk to stakeholders on both side of the measure and discuss how it encompasses Napa County’s struggle to balance preservation and growth.
