Nature & You Lecture Series: Walker Ridge – ONLINE

Located at the border of Colusa and Lake counties, Walker Ridge is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and designated for recreational purposes. Its serpentine soil and varied geologic formations attracts all types, from birders and hikers to hunters and botanists.  The majority of Walker Ridge lies just outside the boundaries of the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument and does not benefit from it’s protections.

Proposed industrial scale wind energy development on Walker Ridge would cause irreparable habitat loss and increase the area’s wildfire risk, and kill many of the region’s birds of prey and bats. The current proposal endeavors to erect 42 wind towers (or turbines), requiring extensive road widening and regrading, and a new electrical tie-line.

Please join Nick Jensen, Botanist and Lead Conservation Scientist with the California Native Plant Society to hear about this amazing place and what the Protect Walker Ridge Alliance is doing to save it.

The word “Tuleyome” (pronounced too-lee-OME-ee) is a Lake Miwok Indian word that means “deep home place”. And that term “deep home place” exemplifies our deep connection to our environment, our communities and our regional public lands.
