Global biodiversity is shifting rapidly due to climate change and human-induced environmental impacts. Rising temperatures and ecosystem changes are altering species’ habitats, behaviors, and survival.
At the Land Trust of Napa County (LTNC), we are accelerating land protection and stewardship to enhance ecosystem resilience. A key strategy is preserving habitat linkages and wildlife corridors, allowing species to move and adapt to climate shifts while also conserving water resources.
Mayacamas to Berryessa: A Regional Conservation Effort
LTNC is a core partner in the Mayacamas to Berryessa (M2B) Landscape Connectivity Network, a collaboration focused on large-scale conservation in Northern California. By using advanced climate modeling, M2B helps prioritize habitat corridors that enable wildlife to move to cooler areas as the climate warms. Learn more here.
Active Stewardship for Climate Resilience
Beyond conservation, LTNC is reducing human-driven climate impacts through:
- Restoring Native Biodiversity: Removing invasive species and restoring native plant communities.
- Watershed Protection: Reducing sediment pollution in streams and wetlands.
- Wildlife Monitoring: Tracking climate change effects on local species.
- Post-Fire Recovery: Monitoring plant regrowth after the 2017 North Bay wildfires.
A Commitment to Climate-Resilient Conservation
By protecting landscapes, restoring ecosystems, and leveraging climate science, LTNC is working to safeguard Napa County’s natural heritage. Learn more about our climate initiatives at napalandtrust.org/our-work/climate-change-and-the-land-trust/
