Tuleyome is a organization focused on action protecting the Putah/Cache bioregion. Their stated intrests are to "protect, restore and enhance the aquatic, riparian, and terrestrial environmental value". Accordingly they have several different projects, all focused on local environmental issues.
Recent Campaigns
Involved in a number of successful environmental campaigns over the last few years. In 2006, Tuleyome was an active part of the campaign to win Wild & Scenic River designation of 31 miles of Cache Creek, in order to protect the creek from future dam projects, water diversion, and other forms of development which threaten the wildlife, fisheries and recreational activities on Cache Creek.
Tuleyome also stepped up their efforts towards the creation of a Blue Ridge Conservancy Project by purchasing the 640-Acre Ireland Ranch, which abuts 9,100 of Bureau of Land Management public lands at Berryessa Peak. Until the Ireland Ranch purchase, the Berryessa Peak Unit was completely encircled by private property, which meant that there was no way for the public to enjoy the recreational opportunities of Berryessa Peak. Tuleyome plans to begin docent-led hikes and support further educational opportunities and scientific studies in the area.
Tuleyome is now working towards the designation of 800,000 acres of public lands in the region as the "Blue Ridge Berryessa National Conservation Area" (that's equivalent to about half the total land area of Delaware). The area would encompass lands managed by the BLM (Bureau of Land Management), BOR (Bureau of Reclamations), CA DFG (Department of Fish & Game) and the UC Natural Reserve System. And would cover parts of Colusa, Lake, Napa, Solano and counties. You can learn more about the campaign on their website: Blue Ridge Berryessa National Conservation Area Campaign Page. The Sierra Club is supporting this campaign.
