For generations, Glen Cove has been a place of deep cultural and natural significance to the Patwin people. Long before restoration efforts began, Yocha Dehe, Kletsel Dehe Wintun Nation and the City of Vallejo established a cultural and conservation easement in 2011 to help protect this shoreline’s cultural and natural resources. Building on that shared commitment, restoration efforts supported through Doyuti T’uhkama began in 2021 with a focus on restoring native habitat, strengthening ecological health and helping ensure the long-term resilience of the site. Here’s a snapshot of that progress — and the partnership, care and stewardship that continue to guide this work.

Join us for a day of fun on June 6th to celebrate World Environment Day! Event activities include: • Trash pickup at Lake Berryessa • Free picnic lunch (register by 5/31) • Native seed packet-making • Macroinvertebrate education station • Guided native plant garden tours • Meet & greet with Bilgee the Bilge Pad mascot Register at cleanupsolano.org. See you there!

We’re proud to partner with @myfssd on the Fairfield-Suisun Water Resilience Program, educating 359 local 5th graders this year about their water infrastructure and how they can build resilience in their communities. In this free program, students receive two visits to their classroom and join our teams onsite at FSSD for a field trip where they install native species, tour the wastewater treatment plant, and participate in a community engagement meeting to think about what they want the future to look like. 98% of students said they felt better prepared to make good water choices after the program, which feels like a great way to celebrate FSSD’s 75th anniversary and ongoing commitment to outreach. - Nos enorgullece colaborar con @myfssd en el Programa de Resiliencia Hídrica de Fairfield-Suisun, educando este año a 359 alumnos locales de quinto grado sobre su infraestructura hídrica y sobre cómo pueden fomentar la resiliencia en sus comunidades. En este programa gratuito, los estudiantes reciben dos visitas en el aula y se unen a nuestros equipos en las instalaciones de FSSD para una excursión de campo, donde plantan especies nativas, recorren la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales y participan en una reunión de participación comunitaria para reflexionar sobre cómo les gustaría que fuera el futuro. El 98 % de los estudiantes afirmó sentirse mejor preparado para tomar decisiones responsables en materia de agua tras completar el programa; lo cual nos parece una excelente manera de celebrar el 75.º aniversario de FSSD y su continuo compromiso con la labor de divulgación.

Meet the Team👋 Monica grew up in Contra Costa County in the Concord area and became interested in agriculture during her time as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Mali and Guinea. One of her favorite parts of working as an Agriculture Project Manager is getting to meet and work with landowners and growers across Solano County to implement conservation practices such as applying compost, planting cover crops and installing hedgerows. She is also very excited about the use of drones as an option to seed and terminate cover crops when field conditions are too wet to use equipment. Some of her favorite native plants are flannelbush and Salvia Bee’s Bliss. Thanks for all you do Monica! Stay tuned for our next staff spotlight where we introduce different members of our dynamic team here at Solano RCD. #staffspotlight #SolanoCounty #RCD - Conoce a nuestro equipo 👋 Monica creció en el condado de Contra Costa, en el area de Concord, y se interesó por la agricultura durante su etapa como voluntaria del Cuerpo de Paz en Malí y Guinea. Una de las partes que más disfruta de su trabajo como gerente de proyectos agrícolas es tener la oportunidad de conocer y colaborar con propietarios de tierras y productores de todo el condado de Solano para implementar prácticas de conservación, tales como la aplicación de compost, la siembra de cultivos de cobertura y la instalación de setos vivos. Asimismo, le entusiasma mucho el uso de drones como alternativa para sembrar y eliminar cultivos de cobertura cuando las condiciones del terreno son demasiado húmedas para utilizar maquinaria pesada. Algunas de sus plantas nativas favoritas son el flannelbush y la Salvia Bee’s Bliss. ¡Gracias por todo lo que haces Monica! Manténganse atentos a nuestra próxima sección de Destacados del personal, donde presentaremos a diferentes miembros de nuestro dinámico equipo aquí en Solano RCD. #staffspotlight #SolanoCounty RCD
