	San Francisco, CA, January 28, 2008 -- The California
Preservation Foundation, in partnership with Napa County Landmarks, will
present its 33rd annual statewide conference in Napa Valley, April
23-26, 2008. The theme for the conference is Balance and Complexity: The
Vineyard and Beyond. 
	
	Balance and Complexity will bring together over 500 state-wide
planners, educators, museum directors, Native American groups,
architects, engineers, historians, designers, librarians, city and
government staff, and the public. This broad attendee base will explore
critical statewide historic preservation issues while also looking at
historic landscapes within the Napa Valley.
	
	The four day conference will feature over 35 sessions and
workshops to highlight Napa Valley's agricultural, historic and cultural
legacy as well as addressing the integration of green sustainability
within a historical context. Attendees may choose many different
educational seminars, from study tours held at unique architectural
wineries, gardens, caves and once renowned resorts to pertinent
workshops held in historic venues, or, listen to a variety of panels.

	From an examination of local Native American cultures to
agricultural transitions and on to Napa's unique architectural
evolution, the conference will explore what is historically and
culturally unique about Napa Valley. "Napa Valley is an ideal location
for this event because of it's diverse cultural influences, it's
