From CVA Natural Resources Chair Paola Berthoin:
Open call to investors who might wish to preserve forty-eight acres of prime agricultural land in Carmel Valley! The Wolter agricultural land across from Quail Lodge on Valley Greens Drive, tended since the 1930’s, is for sale.
This prime land was zoned for homes when the Carmel Valley Master Plan was updated about ten years ago. However, that doesn’t mean it has to happen! Policy CV-6.3 states “Cropland and orchards shall be retained for agricultural use.” This is an opportunity to preserve the rural quality and natural resources of Carmel Valley. What a real shame it would be to see this historic, organically-tended land cut up into ranchettes.
Please contact me at the number or email below. Let’s make this happen!
Than
k you.

Carmel Valley Association is one of the oldest, largest, and most suc
cessful community organizations in Monterey County. We are entirely volunteer, with no paid employees. Our mission is to defend the beauty, resources and rural character of our beautiful valley. We do that by working with residents, businesses, and government.
CVA was instrumental in the adoption of the Carmel Valley Master Plan and recently settled a lawsuit with Monterey County regarding traffic measurement and capping future development on very favorable terms for our valley. Our volunteer experts represent Carmel Valley's interest, testifying before governmental bodies concerning development, water, traffic, road signs, and other quality of life issues.
We keep valley residents informed about important issues and events with our weekly email Bulletin, which goes to over 1200 residents, and our quarterly Newsletter, which is mailed to over 7,000 valley addresses.

Member Richard Cheatham has created a video about our beautiful Carmel Valley and CVA's role in preserving it.
