Tuleyome's History

Tuleyome was founded in 2002 as a volunteer advocacy-oriented nonprofit organization that is focused on protecting both the wild and agricultural heritages of the Putah-Cache bioregion, including all or parts of Yolo, Lake, Napa, Colusa, and Solano counties in northwestern California. Tuleyome works to these ends by:

• Identifying, protecting, and restoring the watersheds' environmental resources
• Developing opportunities for public enjoyment of the watersheds, compatible with resource protection
• Instilling a greater public appreciation of the natural and environmental resources within the watersheds, and
• Promoting a long-term sustainable agricultural base in the region

We conduct our business through strategic planning, research, education, collaboration, advocacy, and charitable projects. Our vision is rooted in conservation biology.
