    "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."

  6. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    On my way from Oroville to Sacramento to catch a flight, I circumnavigated by road the Sutter Buttes. Just one of the little scenes I found. It reminded me of an Andrew Wyeth painting.

  7. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    The Jewish Cemetery in Oroville. I stopped to take a few photos in the not ideal harsh afternoon sunlight. With my limited time (work trip), I tried to find as many interesting things (to me) as I could in Oroville. And surprisingly, there were many. #photography #cemetery #Jewish #Oroville #California #SacramentoValley #ButteCounty #GoldCountry #history #GoldRush

  8. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    The Historic Oroville Inn, now used as a student dormitory. I suspect the students are with the Northwest Lineman College in Oroville. I was driving around and happened to come across their training area. The Oroville Inn opened in 1930 and is on the National Register of Historic Places. #photography #Oroville #SacramentoValley #architecture #NRHP #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces #history #California #lineman

  9. Scenes from Oroville, CA
    Driving from Sacramento to Oroville one passes miles and miles, acres and acres of orchards and rice fields, cattle on hillsides. Cherries, peaches, apricots, nectarines, olives. And water is the limiting factor, the critical path to this abundance. #photography #blackandwhite #Oroville #SacramentoValley #California #agriculture #power #energy #powerlines

  10. Scenes from Oroville, CA.
    I was just a little too late for the Reptile Expo. But this little lizard in the wild made up for that, the western fence lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis). #photography #reptiles #herps #lizards #ReptilianNationExpo #Oroville #California #SacramentoValley #ButteCounty

  11. From my work trip to Oroville, CA a couple weeks ago, or so. I drove by this old, abandoned dry cleaner shop several times over the course of a couple days. I wanted to stop and take photos. When the sunset light looked right, I stopped. #photography #signs #abandoned #evening #sign #Oroville #drycleaner #SacramentoValley #California #GooglePixel #rust #neon

  12. ~100 mi inland, #Sacramento is basically at sea level. Short-term, flooding here could come from above. Long term, from below...

    Part of the #Retrofuture series, here's a 1892 #USGS quad with 66m sea rise, the highest predicted by the #IPCC if all ice caps melted.
