Laguna de Santa Rosa: Wetland Restoration Is Working
The Laguna de Santa Rosa sits within the Russian River wetland subregion (or basin) of the SF Bay Joint Venture. It is a 14-mile long wetland complex that drains a 254-square mile watershed encompassing most of the Santa Rosa Plain in Sonoma County to the Pacific Ocean. In this video we try to capture the multiple values of this expansive region as floodplain, habitat, a source of recreation and undeniable beauty.

Bay Point Regional Shoreline: Wetland Restoration Is Working
This hidden gem is one of 73 East Bay Regional Park District parks providing a place to connect with the shoreline, breath fresh air, and hear the birds in an area with limited access to nature. Whereas the projects in our other 4 video shorts show off work that has been completed, this restoration is only partly done and is seeking funding to complete the plans to restore tidal marsh, seasonal wetlands and upland transition zones for the benefit of birds, other wildlife and people. Travel with us to the eastern most portion of our Joint Venture geographic boundaries and see what is happening at Bay Point Regional Shoreline.

Eden Landing: Wetland Restoration IS working
Over the years, Bay Area residents have actively demonstrated that they value wetland restoration. Voters have passed ballot measures such as Prop 50 in 2002 and Measure AA in June of 2016 and many thousands have volunteered their time to restore wetlands or simply spend time enjoying these special places. In our 4th video short you can see how Eden Landing has slowly been transforming from a complex of industrial salt ponds to a variety of wetland habitats supporting wildlife. Please continue to visit these magical places and support wetland restoration.
