Couldn't have said it better ourselves. 👇

I am proud to be part of the effort to make the Giant Gartersnake the official snake and raise awareness about its important role in our state’s environment and agriculture! Thank you to Save The Snakes and CA Rice Commission for your partnership. #CALeg

Big win for the Giant Gartersnake - now officially California's State Snake! CRC is proud to have worked with Senator Roger Niello and Save The Snakes to recognize this species' importance in California. #CAStateSnake #Thamnophisgigas #GiantGartersnake🐍

California’s rice growers are proud to work alongside partners who are redefining how we support salmon recovery across the state.

The Causeway commute looks a little different this time of year. 🚗🚜 Harvest season is in full swing. Soon these fields will trade tractors for waterfowl migrating along the #PacificFlyway. #CARice

California water policy is often defined by conflict. But a new @ComstocksMag story shows what happens when farmers, scientists & environmentalists choose cooperation instead. 🌾🐟 See how the Floodplain Forward Coalition is helping fish & farms thrive: comstocksmag.com/longreads/coll…

Thanks Comstock's magazine for featuring the #FloodplainForward Coalition #FixNotTheFight progress for salmon, birds & people

CW3E AR Update: An active weather pattern will continue this week, with multiple #AtmosphericRivers forecast to bring heavy precipitation to portions of the Pacific Northwest and northern California. See our latest AR Outlook for more details: cw3e.ucsd.edu/cw3e-ar-update….

Rice harvest may be ending, but the work continues. Farmers, scientists, and conservationists are preparing to flood fields and welcome back the wildlife that rely on them. #CARice

What if farms could help fish? They can — and they do. Rice fields provide ideal floodplain conditions for young salmon, helping them grow strong before their journey to the ocean. 🐟🌾

What’s good for birds is good often good for fish. Partnerships like the Floodplain Forward Coalition are reconnecting rice fields to rivers - helping young salmon grow strong before heading to the Pacific. 🐟 comstocksmag.com/longreads/coll… #FishFriendlyFarms #CaliforniaRice

Harvest is winding down and fields are starting to flood. Each fall, growers help shift the landscape from harvest to habitat. More than 300,000 acres of flooded rice fields will support birds through the winter, all within a rice footprint that spans nearly 500,000 acres.

Natural wetlands in California have been reduced by more than 90 percent. Winter-flooded rice fields help fill that gap by providing shallow water and foraging habitat when birds need it most. calricewaterbirds.org

This Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for California’s rice growers and the wildlife their fields support each winter . From our community to yours — wishing you a safe and restful holiday. 🌾🦃 #CARice
