Last December, Sonoma County based LandPaths announced they were acquiring Calvi Ranch, a 69-acre parcel of land a half mile from the magnificent Grove of Old Trees in Occidental. Owned by the Calvi Family for the last 90 years, the property is located on the ancestral homeland of the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians and the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria. Nico Calvi operated a sawmill there for decades, but its small, car-engine-powered saw was only suited for cutting smaller trees. Jean Schulz said that upon first visiting the Calvi Ranch, she was “blown away by the variety of the landscape and the pristine condition that I saw. What a gift to our generation, and the next.”While the acquisition is cause for excitement, Anderson said the process for next steps won’t be a rushed one.
