📰 Endangered Frog Releases Mark Major Recovery Step
🌎 Southern California: Conservation teams are continuing releases of endangered southern mountain yellow-legged frogs into suitable habitat. The latest releases of large numbers show success from learnings about the species needs.
🐸 Declines started in the 1950s due to introduction of non-native trout, habitat loss, climate change and impacts of invasive species. Reintroduction programs required years of captive breeding, habitat management, monitoring, and collaboration among scientists and wildlife agencies.
🌱 This is an example of successful species recovery resulting from two separate but critical efforts: habitat protection and long-term population management.

#WashingtonState - Largest #restoration project on #StillaguamishRiver completed to help endangered #salmon
Brandon Thompson
Fri, September 25, 2026
"The #StillaguamishTribe completed its largest restoration project on the Stillaguamish River on Friday, when water from the North Fork rushed into a side channel for the first time in more than 150 years.
"The project is the latest installment in a large-scale effort by the Tribe to restore the river to how it flowed before the area was colonized in the 1800s.
"The two-mile stretch of river, 230 acres of surrounding land, and the projects to come will be vital to restoring #salmon #habitat, reducing #wildfire risk, and protecting homes from flood damage, according to Jason Griffith and Kadi Bizyayeva with the tribe.
" 'You can see this project is that large, and that's the scale of habitat that's been lost.' Griffith said, 'We've lost thousands of acres of fish and wildlife habitat, and we're working piece by piece to put thousands of acres of fish and wildlife habitat back on the landscape.'
"Griffith, the environmental program manager, has helped the Tribe buy the land that was a former #GolfCourse, #CattleRanch, and tree farm.
"Construction and acquisition combined cost close to $15 million.
"The #EndangeredSpecies List has #CohoSalmon as endangered of extinction and #ChumSalmon as threatened with extinction. This project primarily intends to help protect these types of fish."

Reconnecting the Wild #Midwest
Explore how #TNC is rebuilding connections between habitats to help #MidwestWildlife—and people—thrive in a changing climate
Published March 02, 2026
"Wildlife needs room to roam, and the Midwest is full of amazing habitats—such as forests, prairies, wetlands and rivers—that aren’t connected, leaving wildlife stuck and struggling. That's why TNC is linking forests, prairies, wetlands and rivers across the Midwest so wildlife can move, adapt and thrive.
"What Is a Wildlife Corridor? Why Are They Important?
"#Habitat Crridors can be interconnected land-based environments, such as #forests and #prairies, as well as #rivers and other freshwater passages that allow aquatic species to move freely. These healthy, #biodiverse areas are beneficial for people too, as they can help reduce flood risk to communities and provide more recreational opportunities in nature.
"However, the Midwest region is highly fragmented. #Habitats are subdivided across different landowners, and many are highly degraded.
"To address this, TNC serves as our own type of corridor, coordinating protection and #stewardship efforts across properties owned by many different partners. Through these collaborations, we help secure funding to connect science with #conservation on the ground and in the water.
"Our work includes large-scale #HabitatRestoration projects that create and improve pathways, like our #CoastalRepair efforts in #SanduskyBay, #DamRemoval efforts in Southern #Indiana and our prescribed fire work in Southern #Illinois."

#CommunityGardens #NewZealand / #Aotearoa
"#CommunityGardening is where a single pieces of land is gardened collectively by a group of people.
The purpose and benefits of community gardens can be:
- Provides fresh healthy food.
- Creates a sense of community in local areas.
- Can reduce the feeling of isolation and loneliness for local residents.
- Gives people healthy exercise in fresh air.
- Can improve the neighbourhood environment.
- Can give participants a sense of connection to nature, that can be therapeutic and relaxing creating a sense of well being.
- Can be used as an educational opportunity for children and adults to understand and appreciate nature and how food can be produced.
- Can reduce the use of fossil fuel and associated CO2 emissions, by saving people from driving to the supermarket to buy food, and reducing the amount of food needed to be transported significant distances to markets.
- Saves money for participants who don’t have to buy so much food.
Ownership.
"The land is typically publicly owned by the local council. Although it may be privately owned land that is used. The management is often by a community organisation that elects members to perform the various management roles. Sometimes a security fence with access restricted to members of the collective is required to reduce theft and vandalism problems.
Types of gardens.
"Most community gardens are aimed at food production. But there are also collectives that are aimed at #HabitatRestoration with #NativePlants for conservation and recreation purposes. Also some gardens are more for amenity recreational uses and can include art such as sculpture, garden furniture for seating, and #ChildrensPlay areas. Some combine all of these features, so require careful planning to achieve these all these aims. There are also groups such as #GreenGuerrillas of #NewYork who started out doing a more instant type of garden that may not be long lasting, but the organisation has developed and taken on larger long term projects."

#UCDavis - Students Lead #HabitatRestoration at #RussellRanch
Fri, March 20, 2026
"At Russell Ranch, just west of campus along Russell Boulevard, a transformation is underway. What was once grazed #pasture and alfalfa field is becoming a thriving #NativeHabitat led by UC Davis students and funded by #TheGreenInitiativeFund, or #TGIF.
"The Russell Ranch Slough Restoration Project, designed and implemented by the Arboretum and Public Garden’s Learning by Leading™ Ecological Land Management, or #ELM, team, is now at its midpoint. Site preparation is complete, invasive species have been cleared, and nearly 200 native trees and shrubs have been planted along the seasonal slough.
" 'Projects like this show students that restoration isn’t theoretical. It’s something they can design and implement themselves,' said Miles DaPrato, environmental steward for the Arboretum and Public Garden and staff mentor for the ELM team.
"Turning Working Land into #WildlifeHabitat
"The 2.5-acre site sits within the #PutahCreek Riparian Reserve, surrounded by agriculture and rural residences. Rather than separating nature from working landscapes, the project shows how the two can work together — creating habitat while improving the ecological function of the land.
"This past fall, students removed old livestock fencing that blocked #wildlife movement, prepared the soil, and seeded the site with locally adapted #NativeGrasses and #wildflowers timed to the first seasonal rains.
"Over the winter, the team planted nearly 200 native trees and shrubs, including #ValleyOak, #Cottonwood, #Willow, #Elderberry and #Toyon. Temporary drip irrigation has been installed to help the young plants establish during their first critical summers. 'You can study restoration in class, but being out here actually doing the work is completely different,' said Keira Folkers, Environmental Engineering, 2026, and Kayden Delvo, Environmental Science and Management, 2026. 'You start to understand the land, the timing of the seasons and the decisions that go into every step.' "
