Napa RCD Weekly Activity Digest - 8th Edition
Greetings from Napa RCD!
Oak trees hold a very unique place in the heritage and identity of Napa County. Did you know that oak woodland covers 33% of our County? These trees stand as symbols of strength and beauty. On top of that, they provide invaluable ecosystem services like wildlife habitat, erosion protection, soil health, and carbon sequestration!
Our community has been working for years to restore oak woodlands. Coordinated by Napa RCD and partners, students and volunteers have planted hundreds of native oaks each year through the
Acorns To Oaks
program.
Join Danielle, from our Education team, at Alston Park (virtually of course) to discover
how much carbon is being stored by community oak planting projects in Napa County.
This activity guide, which includes videos of new oak plantings, will take about 15 minutes to complete and may be completed alone or in groups. The guide was recently developed by the RCD's Education Team - just one more way that we are striving to make environmental learning at home easy and fun for all Napa's residents.
As always, don't forget to share the things you're finding and doing on social media, tagging @NapaRCD and #WILDnapa. We can't wait to see what you're up to!
