There are currently two habitat enhancment guides available:
 |
"A Guide to Habitat Enhancement for Birds in the Sacramento Valley" focuses on riparian (streamside) habitat throughout the Sacramento Valley. For an electronic copy, click here. To request a hard copy click here. |

"A Guide to Habitat Enhancement for Birds of the North Bay Region" focuses on oak woodland and riparian (streamside) habitat of the San Francisco Bay's north bay region, which includes the counties of Lake, Marin, Mendocino, Napa, and Sonoma. For an electronic copy, click here. |
Each guide begins with an introduction on the habitat type (or types) covered within that particular guide, and also provides some background information on bird conservation. It goes on to provide specific recommendations to benefit birds in these habitats, such as a list of suggested native plant species to plant, along with exotic species that should be removed. The guides also provide a list of bird species to look for that will help indicate a successful habitat enhancement project. Finally, the guides includes information about agencies and organizations that can help with technical and financial assistance in habitat enhancement.
