Current Status of the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area
The nearly 17,000 acre Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area (YBWA) is situated within the historic Yolo Basin of the Sacramento Valley, between Davis and West Sacramento. Please join us at Yolo Basin Foundation’s Flyway Nights speaker series on Thursday, January 2 at 7 p.m. at the YBWA Headquarters as Area Manager Joe Hobbs will give an overview of the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area along with its current management status. In 2020, a few large scale projects are set to take place within the Bypass. In coordination with Ducks Unlimited, a drainage project is in the works within the Wildlife Area near where the Davis Drain flows in. Additionally, Joe will briefly discuss the Yolo Bypass Salmonid Habitat Restoration and Fish Passage Project (“the notch”) at the Fremont Weir and its effects on the Wildlife Area. Joe will provide some background information and speak about plans for these projects. He will also give an update on the agricultural leases held in the Wildlife Area. Joe Hobbs has been the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Manager since early 2018. Previously, he was the Statewide Elk and Pronghorn Coordinator. During his 18 years with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, he has worked in the wetlands program, timber harvest review, and the private lands management program. He also worked for the Department from 1992 to 1997 in Wildlife Management as a student assistant while going through undergrad and graduate school at California State University, Sacramento. Joe completed his M.S. on the Fall and Winter Distribution and Habitat Use of the Tule Greater White-fronted Goose in the Sacramento Valley. Flyway Nights is a monthly speaker series highlighting environmental issues, natural history of Northern California and current research topics in conservation. Yolo Basin Foundation hosts Flyway Nights the first Thursday of the month from November to April at the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area Headquarters, 45211 County Road 32B (Chiles Road). A $5 donation to support the Foundation’s wetland education programs is suggested. Yolo Basin Foundation members are free.
