Check-out this nice piece on Audubon California Landowner Stewardship Program:

In an effort to restore floodplain habitat along East Fork Dry Creek, students from Grant Union High School in Sacramento participated in a restoration project on Nov. 29 along the creek in Winters.

The restoration site in Yolo County serves as an outdoor classroom for local high school students as part of a hands-on environmental educational program run by the Center for Land-Based Learning's Student and Landowner Education and Watershed Stewardship program. 

Throughout the day, students learned about establishing locally native vegetation, removing invasive species and stabilizing stream banks to improve water quality. 

The restoration project is designed to stabilize the banks of the creek to prevent erosion, thus improving the habitat for the area wildlife and plant species. 

This project is the result of a partnership between Pacific Gas and Electric Company and Audubon California's Landowner Stewardship Program in order to restore creekside habitat to PG&E's property in Winters. In addition, PG&E has provided Audubon California with a $90,000 grant to support the restoration of Bobcat Ranch, a 6,800-acre Blue Oak woodland northwest of Winters.

 Through vegetation and native perennial grassland restoration and the work of students in the SLEWS program, Audubon California hopes to increase habitat available to various species found in the area, including more than 100 types of birds.
