- SUCCESS - Thompson Wilderness Bill: Introduced by Congressman Mike Thompson (D-St Helena), the bill designates more than 273,000 acres of Northern California as wilderness, along with 51,000 acres to be designated as a recreation management area for off-highway vehicles and mountain bikes.
- SUCCESS! - Lake Berryessa: Created by the construction of Monticello Dam on Putah Creek in the 1950's, concessionaires at the lake established private vacation sites in the 1960's. Current policies now prohibit this type of exclusive use. As part of a larger coalition, Tuleyome was successful in getting the Bureau of Reclamations to adopt a new plan for Lake Berryessa which will open the lake to the public, including a 150-mile lakeside hiking trail.
- SUCCESS! - Cache Creek Wild & Scenic River: With the invaluable help of Assemblywoman Lois Wolk (D-Davis), Tuleyome has succeed in preserving the public lands along Cache Creek in Yolo, Napa, Lake, and Colusa counties! Cache Creek Wild has now shifted from preservation to conservation, with our next action to rid the wild and scenic 'wilderness run' of invasive Tamarisk and Arundo using volunteer kayak crews. Please Join Us!
- SUCCESS! - Berryessa Peak: Completely encircled by private land, no one has been able to visit Berryessa Peak for decades. With Tuleyome's purchase of the Ireland Ranch, docent-led hikes will finally allow members of the public and the scientific community to visit this wonderful, 9,100-acre wilderness area (Hikes are tentatively scheduled to begin this Fall).
- SUCCESS! - BLM Ukiah Recreation Area Management Plan (RAMP): Working with innumberable other enviromental groups, Tuleyome successfully lobbied the Bureau of Land Management to revise its proposed Racreation Area Management Plan to remove many potentially harmful clauses Of significant importance was the elimination of wind turbines from Walker Ridge, a highly sensitive area, where the turbines would represent a significant threat to endangered birds.
