#SacramentoValley #Conservancy secures 265 acres to help build massive #WildlifeCorridor
By James Taylor, CBS13 Photojournalist
November 18, 2025"Eastern Sacramento County's rolling hills and grasslands are home to dozens of #wildlife species, but more and more, their habitat is under threat by urban development.
"Roughly 265 acres of green rolling hills in the area are the newest piece of property being set aside as part of a new multi-million-dollar effort to protect the land and its wildlife.
"Steve Schweigerdt is with the Sacramento Valley Conservancy, a nonprofit trust that preserves land for conservation. The organization is using $2.7 million in state and federal grants to purchase an easement on the property known as the '#TudeskoRanch, which covers 265 acres and is currently used for cattle grazing.
" 'We're super excited about it because it's a large property that's right on the edge of the urban growth boundary,' Schweigerdt said.
"This newest land acquisition is part of a plan to create a 10,000-acre natural habitat corridor that runs from #Folsom to #RanchoMurieta and includes the #Cosumnes and #DeerCreek watersheds.
" 'A lot of animals are migrating up and down to adapt to the different food sources that are occurring at different elevations,' Schweigerdt said.
"Schweigerdt said the area is 'mostly open valley grassland' that features vernal pools and is an important habitat for birds.
"Eastern Sacramento County is seeing rapid growth in areas that had previously been open space, with thousands of new homes being built near Folsom, Rancho Cordova and El Dorado Hills.
" 'The grant source is set up so that farmers and ranchers can access this money, and they don't have to sell out to developers or other projects that are going to destroy their land,' Schweigerdt said."

Since the early 1980s, scientists say, #CoralBleaching events have increased in frequency & severity as the burning of #FossilFuels drives up the #planet’s #temperature. #NOAA documented the first global #coral bleaching event in 1998 & the second in 2010. During the previous global event, between 2014 and 2017, 68% of the world’s #CoralReefs experienced bleaching-level #heat stress.

“The ongoing global #CoralBleaching event is the biggest to date,” #NOAA scientists said.
Bleaching occurs when #heat upends the #coral’s metabolism, causing it to turn white as it expels the symbiotic algae that provide it with nutrients & color. Bleaching doesn’t mean the coral has died, but prolonged bleaching — which scientists say is made more frequent & severe by rising #sea #temperatures — can kill it.#ClimateCrisis #MarineLife #ocean #ecosystem #habitat #science #conservancy

I think this #fire in #albuquerque is exactly what the #southvalley #conservancy people have been trying to fight against. I need to find the articles online about how #unregulated the #industrialwaste is along the east side of the river
