In this issue, we focus on Rio Vista’s staff of life: its plant communities. Now’s a time of great opportunity. The rains came, at last. Community scientists have cataloged and mapped plant species. Volunteers have planted seeds and protected vegetation. And a new project — to transform the trail system with a barrage of native plants — is in the wings. You can help the park ecosystem to make the most of these opportunities.

In this issue, we focus on a Rio Vista life lost too soon and on some new lives that we can hope for in the next year. We also ask for some volunteer help with maintaining the conservation project’s closures of unauthorized trails in the park.

In this issue, we focus on updates from our partners about the long-term survey of plants in the park and about Rio Vista’s irrigation system. We also highlight the contribution of three volunteers to keeping “rogue” trails closed.

In this issue, we focus on updates from our partners about bird conservation in the park. We have more updates to share with you soon, but we’re sending this issue today to make sure that you can take advantage of a volunteer opportunity with HawkWatch International coming up next week.
