NewzA floodplain restoration project in Shasta County, California, has resulted in the return of nesting Swainson’s hawks to the area for the first time in approximately 30 years. The initiative, which began in 2023, involved the rehabilitation of 150 acres of damaged land situated near the Sacramento River.
To facilitate the ecological recovery, conservationists planted over 32,000 native trees and plants. The successful nesting of the hawks serves as an indicator of the project's progress in restoring the local habitat and biodiversity within the floodplain.
