Promoting biodiversity is as important to us as producing premium quality grapes. When we give to the land, the land gives back to us. We provide nesting sites to attract raptors that reduce the number of gophers and other pests that can damage the vines. Strategically placed bird houses throughout the vineyard attract swallows and other birds that dine on insects harmful to the vines. A permanent cover crop between the rows prevents soil erosion, controls vine vigor, discourages unwanted weeds, and provides a habitat for beneficial insects. A small herd of goats live in the area around the pond. The goats enjoy munching in the non-vineyard areas, providing weed control and entertainment for the neighbors.

Along with the goats, swallows, raptors and ladybugs, other wildlife enjoys live at Puma Springs Vineyards. Planting a variety of trees, shrubs and other vegetation provides habitat for a wide range of beneficial birds and insects. A central Insectory attracts beneficial insects to the vineyard, reducing and possibly eliminating the need for insecticides.
