“Budding” Educational Garden
Esparto Middle School “Budding” Educational Garden Steven Roper June 2011 Esparto Middle School “Budding” Educational Garden A Senior Project Presented to the Landscape Architecture Program at the University of California, Davis in Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of Bachelor’s of Science in Landscape Architecture June 10, 2011 Approved By: Claire Napawan, Senior Project Advisor, Landscape Architecture UC Davis Diane Crumley, Committee Member, Yolo County Resource Conservation District Patsy Owens, Associate Professor and Chair, Landscape Architecture UC Davis Jennifer Invanovich, Committee Member, Landscape Architecture UC Davis Abstract The Yolo County Resource Conservation District (Yolo RCD) commits to protect, improve, and sustain the natural resources of Yolo County. Resource Conservation Districts originally focused on soil and water issues, but their mission has broadened to include fish and wildlife habitat restoration, farmland preservation, and control of invasive plant and animal species. The Yolo RCD provides technical guidance, education, and on-site expertise for private landowners and growers, cities, schools, agencies, businesses, and research institutions. The purpose of my senior project is to create a conceptual design for the Esparto Middle School in Esparto, CA. My project will emphasize the importance, and the positive effects school gardens can have on our children. My goal is not only to develop a conceptual design but also create a tool that can work simultaneously with the grant writing efforts of Yolo RCD to gain funding for projects like this in the future. STEVEN ROPER I. Acknowledgments THANK YOU to my senior project committee members for their tremendous help. They were kind and patient enough to share their knowledge, time and encouragement. -
California's Northern Gold Country: from Freeway I-80 North On
California’s Northern Gold Country: From Freeway I-80 North on Highway 49 By Lee Foster There are still plenty of “nuggets” in the cultural stream for the modern traveler venturing into the Northern Gold Country of California along Highway 49, after leaving I-80 at Auburn and heading north. Four main experiences to search out in Nevada and Sierra Counties are history, food/wine, the arts, and seasonal natural beauty. Fall Color in Nevada City Grass Valley is a convenient base of operations for your prospecting. There are good lodgings such as the home-grown Grass Valley Courtyard Suites (not by Marriott) and the Gold Miner’s Inn (which is run by Holiday Inn Express). The day I was at the Courtyard, the owner was making waffles for me and everyone else at the complimentary cooked breakfast. As the region continues to renew itself with dining options, seek out the new craft beer and organic pizza/food haven, Three Forks Bakery & Brewing Company, in Nevada City. For a quality wine tasting experience in today’s California, without even a fee, consider Pilot Peak Winery south of Grass Valley, and sign up for info on their summer Saturday night parties. All these entities benefit from dedicated and new entrepreneurs and proprietors who contribute to make California travel a better experience today for the average consumer than it has been in the past. Gold Rush history is the unique drama that defines the region. There are two outstanding mining site tours to peruse in this northern area if you want to understand the later “hard rock” phase of the California Gold Rush. -
Story of Water in Sacramento Is Incredibly Complex, and Constantly Evolving
Sacramento’s Story of Water by Chris Lopez of Grow Water www.GrowWater.org Sacramento lies at the confluence of the Sacramento and American Rivers, and is the capital city of the state of California. The current population of Sacramento County is around 1.5 million who consume between 110- 270 gallons of water per person per day. Historical rainfall averages between 17 ½ - 19 inches of rain per year, which falls primarily between the months of October through April. This is a stark difference in precipitation when compared to the nearby Sierra foothills, which receive between 30-65 inches of rain per year as well as varying degrees of snowfall, which does not occur at the lower elevations of the Sacramento Valley. The Sacramento River, and its watershed, is California’s most precious resource. “The future of California is joined at the hip with the Sacramento River” says University of California geologist, Dr. Jeff Mount. The Sacramento River has always been a “river of life” and never more so than right now. Located in central northern California, the Sacramento River is the largest river system and basin in the state. The 27,000 square mile watershed includes the eastern slopes of the Coast Ranges, Mount Shasta, and the western slopes of the southernmost region of the Cascades and the northern portion of the Sierra Nevada. The Sacramento River, stretching from the Oregon border to the Bay-Delta, carries 31% of the state’s total runoff water. Primary tributaries to the Sacramento River include the Pit, McCloud, Feather, and American rivers. -
Open Competition Information
OPEN COMPETITION INFORMATION Purpose The City of Sacramento (City) is pleased to solicit concept design entries from firms or teams that will support the creation of a regional destination on the Old Sacramento Waterfront. Deadline Entries are to be uploaded to https://woobox.com/jrtiue by 12:00pm PST on March 11, 2019. Background In 2017, Mayor Darrell Steinberg, Vice Mayor Steve Hansen and City Manager Howard Chan requested a plan to identify targets of opportunity to enhance the waterfront as a destination that would attract greater visitation, improve the region’s quality of life and encourage mixed-use urban development. City staff subsequently offered a strategy to leverage the City’s existing waterfront assets by redeveloping Old Sacramento, and thereby creating a premiere waterfront destination. Old Sacramento Waterfront in 1875 and today. That strategy focused on organizational changes to Old Sacramento Waterfront operations and improvements to City and State-owned waterfront properties. The City recently completed an $8 million renovation of the waterfront Embarcadero boardwalk and a rebranding program and now seeks to leverage that work to reimagine and reenergize the Old Sacramento Waterfront. 2 The Waterfront Ideas Makers Program (WIM or Program) is an outgrowth of these activities. Waterfront Idea Makers Program Goals: The City has selected five firms to participate in • Activation the Waterfront Idea Makers Professional Increase the attraction of the Program. The City also values the ideas and talent o of the public and would like to invite the public to Old Sacramento Waterfront as a participate in the Waterfront Idea Makers Open regional destination. -

Placer County Economic and Demographic Profile 2005
Placer County Economic and Demographic Profile 2005 Funded by: County of Placer Office of Economic Development Produced by: Sacramento Regional Research Institute A Joint Venture of SACTO and CSUS Ryan Sharp, Director Tanya Monroe, Deputy Research Director Helen Schaubmayer, Senior Research Analyst Jesse Catlin, Research Analyst Marcia Cosgrove, Research Analyst Libby Lyon, Research Analyst ii FOREWORD Foreword Placer County, one of California’s fastest growing counties, is characterized by high incomes and a technology-based economy. The attractions of the region, including comparatively affordable land and housing, as well as a superior quality of life, ushered in a decade of unprecedented expansion. Placer County offers safe neighborhoods, excellent schools and an outstanding transportation system. The transportation system of federally and state-funded highways was a precipitating factor in the construction of housing, business and industrial parks. This construction of housing and industrial parks brought new residents to Placer County who, in turn, benefited the local economy by demanding goods and services. The Sierra Nevada Mountains, home to the 1960 Winter Olympics and the largest concentration of world class ski resorts in the Western United States, provide an abundance of year-round recreational and cultural opportunities to the residents of Placer County and visitors from other parts of the Greater Sacramento Area, as well as the San Francisco Bay Area. The Placer County Economic and Demographic Profile 2005 provides an economic and demographic survey of Placer County, and provides detailed statistics on the three distinctive regions of the county: the Valley, the Gold Country and the High Country. The Placer County Economic and Demographic Profile 2005 was prepared for the Placer County Office of Economic Development by the Sacramento Regional Research Institute (SRRI), a joint venture of California State University, Sacramento and the Sacramento Area Commerce and Trade Organization.
