This November, Sonoma County voters have the opportunity to secure funding for our local and regional parks for generations to come. Greenbelt Alliance proudly endorses YES on Measure H, Parks for All.
Measure H would maintain the 1/8th cent (0.125¢) sales tax passed in 2018 and change the funding structure to ensure that funding continues until ended by voters. This revenue provides stable, long-term funding without raising the current tax rate. Funds from this measure would generate $15.5 million annually, with two-thirds going to regional parks and one-third going to neighborhood parks.

Why It Matters
Local and regional parks are essential to the health of our community and environment. This measure would provide funds that enhance, protect, and expand the outdoor spaces where our community goes to play, exercise, relax, and connect with nature. Parks are also essential to climate resilience, contributing to healthy ecosystems and helping us to withstand extreme weather and environmental changes. This much-needed funding would go to the stewardship and protection of our open spaces, while also providing essential maintenance and expanding access for all residents.
Beyond that, Measure H would enhance wildfire resilience across the county by supporting fuel reduction and vegetation management, as well as other actions that protect communities from rising wildfire risk.
Funds from Measure H will go to projects that promote the health of our land, water, and community. To continue funding our parks and Sonoma County’s climate resilience, vote YES on Measure H, Parks for All.
