The Nature Conservancy’s Emily Wells on Sandhill Cranes

By on May 10, 2023 in

Sandhill Crane

Emily Wells is the Conservation Program Manager for Conservation Farms and Ranches, The Nature Conservancy’s related entity managing California’s Staten Island. She first started working on Staten as a temporary avian technician in 2013 and left to pursue her masters degree in Range and Wildlife Management at Texas A&M Kingsville where she studied the wintering ecology of the Gulf Coast subpopulation of Sandhill Cranes. Once her studies were complete, she came back to Staten Island where she helped coordinate the farming and conservation land management, conduct research into waterbird use of different crops and management techniques, and help manage projects aimed at improving the conservation value and resiliency of Staten Island into the future.

Dye Creek Preserve Outing – CANCELLED!

By on March 14, 2020 in

Located in the foothills below Mount Lassen, the 37,540-acre Gray Davis Dye Creek Preserve is an expansive landscape of blue oak woodlands, volcanic buttes, and rolling wildflower fields. The landscape is dissected dramatically by Dye Creek Canyon with its vertical cliffs, clear-water creek, and diverse riparian forests. The forest widens as it leaves the canyon mouth and flows westward, through wetlands, to its confluence with the Sacramento River. Join Michele Swartout, trip leader, for a hike up Dye Creek Canyon. Golden Eagles, Peregrine Falcons and Canyon Wrens are a possibility. Wild flowers should be abundant. The trail is rough and the stream was widened last Spring from the rains. Bring water, a lunch, and sturdy shoes for this all day outing. Meet at 7:30 sharp at the Kutras Park on Park Marina Drive to carpool and bring a lunch for this full-day trip.

Wintu Audubon Outing to Dye Creek Preserve

By on December 17, 2018 in

Located in the foothills below Mount Lassen, the 37,540-acre Gray Davis Dye Creek Preserve is an expansive landscape of blue oak woodlands, volcanic buttes, and rolling wildflower fields. The landscape is dissected dramatically by Dye Creek Canyon with its vertical cliffs, clear-water creek, and diverse riparian forests. The forest widens as it leaves the canyon mouth and flows westward, through wetlands, to its confluence with the Sacramento River. Join Larry Jordan, trip leader, for a hike up Dye Creek Canyon. Golden Eagles, Peregrine Falcons and Canyon Wrens are a possibility. Wild flowers should be abundant. The trail is rough and a small stream crossing should provide some excitement. Bring water, a lunch, and sturdy shoes for this all day outing. Meet at 7:30 sharp at the Kutras Park on Park Marina Drive to carpool and bring a lunch for this full-day trip.
