A pair of bald eagles known as Lucy and Ricky have welcomed three eaglets to their home in the Prado Wetlands, a constructed habitat managed by the Orange County Water District. The wetlands provide a valuable habitat for endangered species, including the national bird of the U.S., while also enhancing water quality and providing a water source for residents.
Dos Rios, California’s newest state park, has been dedicated in a special ceremony attended by Governor Newsom and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom. The restoration of the once agricultural site into a wildlife habitat has involved the planting of 280,000 trees, the conservation of 7,000 acre-feet of fresh water, and the restoration of 8 miles of riverfront. As part of the Pacific Flyway, Dos Rios serves as a valuable link to intercontinental avian migration. In addition to providing a habitat for local wildlife, the park is a key asset in fighting the climate crisis as it hosts the state’s largest floodplain restoration project.
