Flyway Nights is a monthly speaker series hosted by the Yolo Basin Foundation highlighting environmental issues, current research topics in conservation, and natural history of Northern California.

This talk will focus on the history of salmon and people in Northern California, how it changed following European settlement, and what people are doing now through science, management, and outreach to help salmon populations recover and reconnect communities with their local ecosystems.

Dr. Carson Jeffres is a senior researcher and field and lab director at the UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences. As a fish biologist and watershed scientist, he studies how native fish—particularly California salmon—use and benefit from healthy and restored habitats.
