The Cache Creek Conservancy (CCC) is a 501c(3) non-profit organization based in Woodland, California. CCC’s mission is to restore and enhance the lower Cache Creek watershed and its highly impacted landscapes. For almost three decades, CCC has utilized invasive removal and wildlife monitoring to restore native habitat. The Arundo Eradication program started in 2021, focuses on removing Arundo donax along the lower Cache Creek. To date, CCC has successfully treated and retreated more than 7.28 acres of Arundo. Besides invasive plant eradication, CCC has more recently delved into invasive wildlife removal, specifically American Bullfrog and Red-eared Slider. This past season, over 800 bullfrogs and 98 sliders were removed from the Cache Creek Nature Preserve’s wetland habitat. Alongside invasive removal, CCC conducts systematic surveys to monitor how restoration efforts are impacting native wildlife, including special status species such as Swainson’s Hawk, Northwestern Pond Turtle, and Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle. The data is used by CCC and Yolo County to develop management plans for various restoration sites along the lower Cache Creek. Additionally, these initiatives have been integrated into a college internship program that allows students and recent graduates gain valuable hands-on experiences in the environmental career field.
