September 14 ~ Napa River Wildlife & Restoration 

 Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District

What’s happening locally to enhance habitat for wildlife and improve the health of the River? The Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District are spearheading a variety of projects to make more room for the Wild part of Napa. Project staff have spent countless hours in our riparian corridors, observing how wildlife use and respond to riparian restoration. Join us for a presentation of photos, videos, and stories from those that work every day to improve the Napa River.
