CARCD WCB Climate & Wildlife Project: Sandy Beach Monarch Habitat Project
Planning/Design
Solano RCD is proposing to work with Solano County to install monarch butterfly habitat at Sandy Beach County Park. This will include seeding and planting herbaceous plants on about 3.4 acres, as well as planting a 1300-foot hedgerow of trees and shrubs around the perimeter of the campground. Solano RCD will also work with Solano County on continued replants of trees and shrubs between the campsites at the park and provide technical assistance to maintenance staff.

Direct Benefits to Disadvantaged Communities (DACs)
Solano RCD will be taking 3rd grade from the only elementary school in Rio Vista to the project site every year as the field trip component to our Watershed Explorers program, where they will participate in hands-on environmental education, assist in habitat planting efforts. Many of these students come from neighboring Vallejo, nearly all of which is designated as a disadvantaged community with some of the highest EnviroScreen scores in the region.

Project Themes
Project Themes
SRCD's Watershed Explorers program takes approximately 50 students per year on a field trip to the area that will be enhanced by the project. Students participate in hands on environmental education activities and will assist with planting native pollinator plants.
The species palette for this project has been chosen specifically to support monarch butterflies and other pollinators throughout the year.
