The Cache Creek Conservancy is organizing a virtual art exhibit in honor of World Wetlands Day this February 2. World Wetlands Day has been internationally observed every year since 1997. This day asks us to set aside time to learn more about the ecological and cultural value of wetlands and take action to increase public awareness of their importance and the threats they are facing.
“This year’s theme shines a spotlight on wetlands as a source of freshwater.
We are facing a growing freshwater crisis that threatens people and our planet. We use more freshwater than nature can replenish, and we are destroying the ecosystem that water and all life depend on most – Wetlands.”

The Cache Creek Conservancy has chosen to use art to commemorate this special day. Art of all kinds is immensely powerful. Art moves us to act; it influences policies, inspires cultures, and touches hearts and minds. We are inviting visual and written word artists, of all ages and abilities, who wish to be showcased in the virtual exhibit to provide an art piece inspired by the relationship between wetlands, freshwater, and life.
We will host three virtual exhibits: visual, written, and coloring page art, on our website.
Submissions will be grouped together, based on the category of your work. If you would like your age or school grade displayed with your piece, please indicate that on the submission form.
We hope to provide a space for all artists to showcase their work, however, we reserve the right to reject submissions that we deem inappropriate or unrelated to the message of World Wetlands Day. We will notify you via email if this is the case. Please refer to the documents below for more details. If you have questions, comments, or concerns, please email vvarela-yates@cachecreekconservancy.org

Despite distance and quarantine, people around the world found creative ways to persevere. Here at the CCNP, we experienced a greater number of visitors as people searched out healthy recreational opportunities. This reinforced for us just how precious outdoor spaces are in our community and the need for potable water at the Nature Preserve. Friends and supporters of the Conservancy raised over $2,450 to refurbish facilities to provide drinking water for visitors and adequate water supply for establishing vegetation which will one day become pristine, native habitat. THANK YOU for your continued support as we enter our 25th year serving our wonderful community through restoration and enhancement of the Lower Cache Creek!
On August 12th, NORR and Cache Creek Conservancy hosted a Live Event informing community member of changes to the project design based on feedback from previous public and stakeholder meetings. Participants were also asked to provide their input. Questions during the live Q + A session included concerns about ADA accessibility and cooling systems within the proposed buildings.
Families ventured out and into Cache Creek to in search of aquatic insects hidden beneath the depths. Some of these creatures were so small they were barely visible to eye. Others large enough to see were camouflaged in plain sight! A huge thank you to the volunteers who made this summer program possible in 2020!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our Great Backyard Bird Count. Our list totaled 55 species, including a Great Horned Owl, California Thrasher, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and amazing views of a Green Heron! We submitted the list to researchers at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the National Audubon Society to contribute to their data on migration patterns and long-term population trends.
Locally-sourced, native grasses and wildflowers are now taking root in the riparian area at the Cache Creek Nature Preserve! Thank you to Hedgerow Farms and the 18 volunteers who gave their time to help establish native habitat!
A big thank you to everyone who showed support and visited the Nature Preserve during our "Meet the Curators!" event in December. Our interns gained valuable experience developing and presenting the exhibit!
