The meeting will be held in-person at Effie Yeaw Nature Center and online via Zoom (hybrid meeting). If you would like to attend the meeting via Zoom, registration is required. You do not need to register to attend the meeting at Effie Yeaw.

About the Presentation:

Spring Run Chinook Salmon populations in Butte Creek hit a low in the 1970s and waterfowl populations in the Sacramento Valley hit a low in the 1980’s.  By the 1990’s Butte Creek Spring Run Chinook had increased 25 fold from the 1970’s and millions of waterfowl were once again returning to the Sacramento Valley each winter.  Today, innovative work and modern technology are helping biologists understand the ecology of these species to guide habitat restoration and management and highlight how the needs of waterfowl and salmon overlap as we face the challenges presented by a changing climate.
