Add to My List Check Off

The Berryessa Snow Mountain region of northern California is one of the most biologically diverse, yet least known regions of the state. Located less than one hundred miles from the Sacramento and Bay Area metropolitan regions, the area is a dazzling outdoor wonderland rich in unique natural features and loaded with recreational opportunities. Visitors can find California’s second-largest population of wintering bald eagles, float the thrilling rapids of wild and scenic Cache Creek, witness herds of wild Tule elk, and catch a glimpse of black bears. Opportunities for hiking, camping, botany, birding, hunting, and horseback riding abound. The area stretches over 100 miles from blue oak woodlands near Putah Creek in the south to the sub-alpine habitat of Snow Mountain Wilderness to the north. It became a National Monument in July, 2015. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service will cooperate on a specific preservation plan to combat the effects of climate change and other environmental threats, including the northern migration of plant life.The Berryessa Snow Mountain region is an intact ecological treasure that requires one management plan, rather than fragmented efforts from multiple agency jurisdictions.We are currently working to permanently protect about 350,000 acres of Federal public lands in the Berryessa Snow Mountain region in Lake, Napa, Mendocino, Solano and Yolo counties.
