FENCES DOWN

摘要

When the Swiss-born philanthropist Hansjoerg Wyss began purchasing land in the Adelaida District in Paso Robles, California, it came with a feature some winemak-ers would have seen as a liability: a well-trod wildlife corridor. Slicing across the property, Las Tablas Creek and the surrounding oak forest had sustained deer, elk, foxes, and other species for centuries, and Wyss, who has helped conserve roughly 14 million acres of wilderness throughout the United States, enlisted the local farmer and nature guide Mitch Wyss (no relation) to plan the vineyard-now called Halter Ranch-around the existing corridor.
