Largest Riparian Forest in California

The Cosumnes River Bird Preserve is a unique and vital habitat for over 200 species of migratory birds located in the Central Valley of California.

Spread over 9,000 acres of land, it is the largest remaining riparian forest in the state, providing a crucial stopover for migratory birds during their journey between their breeding grounds in the north and their wintering grounds in the south.

The preserve is a rich source of food and shelter for these birds, and offers ample opportunities for birdwatching, nature walks and wildlife photography.

The Cosumnes River Bird Preserve is a testament to the power of conservation efforts and the importance of preserving natural habitats.

It serves as an important educational resource, providing a window into the world of migratory birds and the ecosystems that support them.

Visitors can take guided tours, attend educational programs and participate in volunteer opportunities, all aimed at increasing public awareness of the value of preserving these critical habitats.
