We need the tonic of wildness…we can never have enough of nature. —Henry David Thoreau Northern California, as in many other parts of the country, has witnessed the effects of corporate agriculture encroaching on native habitat around rivers, streams and tributaries. Over the past 50 years, the consequences of water diversion, flood control, gravel mining and the wholesale laser leveling of the land have become undeniably evident. During the last twenty years efforts to restore waterways and riparian habitat have emerged across the country. In Yolo and Solano counties the restoration has taken place under the guidance of the Putah Creek Council and many dedicated local residents. Once a decimated waterway, Putah Creek is now a place of thriving beauty and energy. These photographs were taken with the intent to reflect the grace and power of a natural world that has reemerged under the protection of human stewardship.
