RD1000 believes in biological conservation through preservation. Being keen on protection means being aware of how our operations and maintenance may affect different species who call the Natomas Basin their home.
RD1000 monitors water quality in our canals and ditches to help preserve aquatic life and habitat for fish, pond turtles, otters, and beavers. District crews are careful not to mow along the water’s edge to allow the highly aquatic Giant Garter Snake the ability to graze on frogs, fish, and aquatic vegetation.
Along Fisherman’s Lake, crews are careful to leave native grasses and weed up to 8 inches tall to allow foraging for snakes and hawks. Each year, from May 1 to July 4, Cattails and Tules (aquatic weeds) are left undisturbed from mowing because Blackbirds like to nest in them. When it comes to tree maintenance, our crews do not disturb Swainson Hawk nests. They do not trim Elderberry bushes because they are federally protected to ensure the Elderberry Beatle retains its habitat.
Reclamation District 1000 (the "District") is committed to ensuring that its services are accessible to all
members of the public. As part of this commitment, the District strives to provide an accessible website compatible with
the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.1, AA, and commercial screen reading software. Features of the
website are created to allow individuals with vision and other impairments to understand and use the website to the same
degree as someone without disabilities.
