Restoration & Conservation
Planting Season is Upon Us!
The delayed rain this year also delayed our planting season, but now that the soil is a little wet, we can finally get plants out of the nursery and into the ground:
- We have been at Cunningham Marsh planting locally-collected native sedges and shrubs to restore the marsh and create habitat for the endangered Pitkin marsh lily.
- If you live in Rohnert Park, come check out our new plantings along Hinebaugh Creek in the K section where we are planting trees and shrubs to expand the riparian corridor along the creek.
- Next time you are in Santa Rosa, take a drive out Occidental Road past the Earle Baum Center, and keep an eye out for a new hedgerow.
These, and other planting projects create habitat for birds and wildlife and restore our essential wetland ecosystems. We're looking forward to seeing what species arrive this spring!
