In the October 2025 issue of the Burrowing Owl, we wrote about the habitat restoration project at the Pacific Flyway Pond (formerly known as North Regional Pond, just north of the Woodland Waste Water Treatment Plant). Now, Yolo Bird Alliance, alongside Yolo County Resource Conservation District, has a big planting day coming up at the pond. We hope you’ll join us for a morning of getting dirty and birding on Sunday, April 19th from 9am to noon.
Sign up with a message here and you’ll receive more information on the work day.
The restoration project which is being supported with a $1.6 million grant received by the City of Woodland from the California Wildlife Conservation Board can be found here. The earth moving and construction supervised by the city has largely been completed. Under the leadership of the Yolo County Resource Conservation District, YBA and other local non-profits have been helping with the planting and some upcoming interpretive signage. We’re also pleased to announce that the City of Woodland has posted “No Dogs Allowed” signs at the site. YBA had received several complaints about dogs disturbing nesting birds. Hope to see you on the 19th. The Pacific Flyway Pond is becoming a wonderful amenity for the county.
