Description: Approximately 70 percent of the contiguous United States is in private lands with half of this total in row crop or rangelands. Audubon California’s Landowner Stewardship Program engages with farmers and ranchers on conservation and restoration projects in a manner compatible with existing agricultural operations. To assess the success of these efforts, Audubon, University of California, Davis, Agricultural Research Service, and Michigan State University conducted multi-disciplinary studies across a range of habitats in Yolo County, California. We present the results from this multi-disciplinary research as well as highlights of key lessons learned.
