Bay-Delta Tour 2020

Water from Northern California flows through the Delta and heads south to provide drinking water for more than 25 million Californians and irrigation to 3 million acres of farmland that contribute to the state’s $50 billion agricultural industry.

Stops include the Delta Cross Channel, the Bay Model in Sausalito, Los Vaqueros Reservoir and Suisun Marsh, which comprises more than 10 percent of the remaining wetlands in California and is the largest contiguous brackish water wetland in western North America. Issues discussed include Delta planning initiatives, the proposed tunnel project, water project operations, fish passage, ecosystem restoration, levees and flood management, Delta agriculture, storage, and drinking water quality and water supply reliability.

This 3-day, 2-night tour features experts who discuss the issues and controversies with this important resource, farmers who grow produce and environmentalists who are trying to bolster declining fish populations.

Cost: $940 (Early Bird Ends July 29); $970 (General)
