Hosted by the Sierra Club California
This field trip will include a short and steep hike at Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument led by members of Tuleyome, the California Native Plant Society, the Sierra Club, and the Conservation Lands Foundation. We will explore the biodiversity of the area, the success of strong partnerships, and the monument's community-driven and tribally led initiative to conserve Berryessa through 30x30.
Hosted by California Department of Fish and Wildlife
Attendees will take a trip to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s (CDFW’s) Spenceville Wildlife Area to see first-hand how the department is monitoring wildlife presence, wildlife movement, and climate change on state lands as part of the Sentinel Site Network. Following a brief introduction to Spenceville Wildlife Area, CDFW staff will guide attendees around the property to view and discuss various pieces of monitoring equipment and techniques, which include wildlife cameras and sound recorders, a weather station, and a Motus wildlife tracking station.
Spenceville Wildlife Area represents one of 39 CDFW properties with long-term biodiversity and climate monitoring. These sites are part of a monitoring network developed to evaluate and quantify biodiversity trends in response to climate, land use change, and other shifting environmental conditions across the state. This information will be used to guide defensible, science-backed decisions related to natural resources management, and evaluate the efficacy of the 30x30 initiative.
Hosted by California Ecological Restoration Business Association
Join California Ecological Restoration Business Association (CalERBA) members and CalERBA Board Member Company Westervelt Ecological Services for a half-day filed trip to Cosumnes Floodplain Mitigation Bank. Located just 30 minutes from downtown Sacramento, the site demonstrates the power of private investment in ecological restoration. Visitors will learn how mitigation banking and public-private partnerships incentivize measurable, landscape scale ecological outcomes. Restored over 12 years ago, the Cosumnes Floodplain Mitigation Bank showcases the potential of restored wetlands. With its proximity to other conserved areas, including The Nature Conservancy’s Cosumnes River Preserve and a Department of Water Resources restoration project, the property highlights the role of mitigation banks in achieving regional conservation goals. Discover the collaborative efforts that made this project possible and how it has supported infrastructure development and housing projects throughout the Sacramento and Delta Regions.
Hosted by River Partners
Participants will tour farm properties that are slated for large-scale floodplain restoration in the coming decade, and visit with project partners focused on salmon recovery, wildlife-friendly farming, cultural history and tribal engagement in restoration, native seed and plant material production, streamflow enhancement and riparian ecology. Tour will include the 1600-acre Dos Rios Norte property and a special visit to the confluence of the Sacramento and Feather Rivers. Tour may include a reception in Yolo County.
