Solano water agency extends support for salmon study in Lower Putah Creek
VACAVILLE The Solano County Water Agency has agreed to fund for another year the University of California, Davis salmon research on Lower Putah Creek.
“We will be able to use data from DNA comparisons to estimate how many Chinook salmon in Putah Creek originate from past spawners in the system. In addition, we will be able to track juvenile salmon migrations within and outside the system to understand their survival rates and outmigration dynamics, including potential methods for boosting survival,” Andrew Rypel, associate professor and the California Trout Chair in Coldwater Fish Ecology at UC Davis, said in a statement.

Long before the first winemakers dotted the Napa Valley with buildings and caves constructed by Chinese laborers, the Wappo people thrived in this region.
According to ethnographic studies by A. L. Kroeber, there were up to 3,000 Wappo and Wintun Native Americans living in the Napa Valley around 1843, including those residing in the Russian River area near Healdsburg. Another indigenous group that once lived in the valley was the Patwin tribe.
The census of 1910 found only 73 Wappo people.

Knoxville Recreation Area
Bureau of Land Management, California.
Due to its close proximity to the Sacramento and San Francisco Bay Area regions, and because of its varied terrain, Knoxville s 17,700 acres attract many off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts each year. The landscape is characterized by steep and rolling hills with the vegetation varying from scattered hardwoods and grasses to dense chaparral brush. California gray pine and Macnab cypress are also dispersed throughout the area. Of particular note, are unusual plant communities unique to the area s serpentine barrens, which are closed to vehicles to protect the delicate vegetation.
Other popular activities in the area include hunting, mountain bicycling, camping, and nature study. There is one developed campground, and an OHV staging area.
