Did You Know? 🔎

Have you ever wondered about the history of the giant peace sign that sits just behind the stage at Black Oak Ranch? Brain child of Hog Farmer, Dorje, the peace sign was built in response to the first Gulf War. The Hog Farm collective has a long anti-war history that dates back to the Vietnam war. The original peace sign had a circle as big as three pieces of EMT pipe and was covered in large Christmas lights. It hung on one of the red barns at Black Oak Ranch clearly visible from Highway 101 and stayed lit until the end of the war. It has since been rebuilt and is a cherished part of festivals and events at Black Oak Ranch ☮️✨

Evan and his crews at Bioengineering Associates worked all up and down the creek to restore salmon habitat over many years. ❤️💦
