Conservation Confluence September 2019
NEWS FROM WHF
Thank you to all who participated in WHF’s Auburn Ravine Creek Cleanup on September 21st! As part of the 11th annual Great Sierra River Cleanup, WHF and volunteers contributed to the effort to clean Sierra Nevada waterways by removing 1,360 pounds of trash and debris along the creek. Some odd items collected from the Auburn Ravine included three shopping carts, a large jar of pickles, and a Christmas tree with a stand.
My best,
Darla Guenzler, Executive Director
PROTECTING VITAL HABITAT IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
WHF recently closed a 242-acre conservation easement on a beautiful working ranch nestled in the hills of Merced and Santa Clara Counties. The ranch provides high quality habitat for California tiger salamander, California red-legged frog, San Joaquin kit fox and is adjacent to protected California tiger salamander breeding habitat and oak woodland habitat.
