Campaigns

Berryessa Snow Mountain National Conservation Area: Tuleyome is working on a proposal to designate the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Conservation Area (BSM NCA). The exact size and area are yet to be determined. However, our vision encompasses potentially as much as 500,000 acres – a largely undeveloped and diverse mosaic of public land.
Global Warming/Climate Change: All of Tuleyome's work protecting the wild and agricultural heritage of the Putah & Cache Creek watersheds won't matter if large-scale climate change destroys the regional ecosystem. For that reason (among others) Tuleyome is joining the world-wide campaign to reduce humanity's impact on the climate.

Projects

Bear Creek Unit: On the BLM Bear Creek Unit, Tuleyome is working with rancher Chet Vogt to use intensive, short duration, rotational cattle grazing to control invasive species and help native plants re-naturalize on the parcel.
Blue Ridge Conservancy: The Blue Ridge Conservancy is Tuleyome's land trust and conservation easement program. The Ireland Ranch is Tuleyome's first permanent preserve as part of the Conservancy.
Cache Creek Weed Eradication: With Tuleyome's success in preserving Cache Creek as a Wild & Scenic River, we've now switched to conservation, specifically to the control of invasive Tamarisk and Arundo. We'll be using volunteer kayak crews to float down the river, removing these invasive species as we go. We're always looking for more help, so please join us!

Ireland Ranch: Tuleyome is developing a management plan for the recently purchased Ireland Ranch, including docent-led hikes of the ranch, access to the Berryessa Peak Wilderness Area for scientific research, as well as recreational, agricultural and cultural studies.
Capay Valley Hiking Club (YoloHiker): One of Tuleyome's most successful programs, the Capay Valley Hiking Club has been providing guided outings to the backcountry of the Putah and Cache Creek Watersheds since 1999.
Why not become a YoloHiker yourself!
Teen Rafting: In partnership with the Collings West Sacramento Teen Center and the Woodland YMCA, each year Tuleyome organizes a series of river rafting trips for Yolo County teens, who otherwise would never have the opportunity to enjoy the experience. This the second year Tuleyome has organized the trips, and thus far they have been a great success.
