About this site

This riparian corridor along the Cosumnes River is a favorite roosting and feeding area for great blue herons and egrets, offering tall trees for nesting and shallow waters for foraging.

Seasonal & Climate Resilience to Observe

Water Levels – Seasonal flooding and summer low-flow conditions.

Bank Stability – Erosion or sediment buildup after high-water events.

Tree Health – Canopy condition, dieback, and regeneration of native riparian species.

Wildlife Use – Seasonal presence and nesting activity of herons and egrets.

Habitat Connectivity – Floodplain access during wet years and habitat availability during drought.

Tracking these indicators helps evaluate how riparian habitat responds to variable rainfall, extreme storms, and prolonged drought while continuing to support wildlife.

About Cosumnes River Preserve

The Cosumnes River Preserve consists of over  50,000 acres of wildlife habitat and agricultural lands owned by seven land-owning Partners. The Partners include The Nature Conservancy, Bureau of Land Management, California Department of Fish & Wildlife, Sacramento County Regional Parks, Department of Water Resources, Ducks Unlimited, and the California State Lands Commission. The Preserve is centered along the Cosumnes River, its floodplains and riparian habitat. This habitat is buffered by a variety of agricultural operations. The Preserve provides numerous social, economic, and recreational benefits to local communities and to people residing in the larger Sacramento and San Joaquin areas. The habitat supports wildlife, including birds that migrate throughout the Pacific Flyway.
