Calhoun Cut Habitat Restoration Project

The Calhoun Cut Habitat Restoration Project involves the restoration of 4.5 acres along Calhoun Cut in California, focusing on reestablishing a native riparian ecosystem. The project will install 1,750 native trees and shrubs, along with 15,000 native forb, sedge, and grass plugs to create a 4,100-foot native plant hedgerow, 1.3 acres of riparian plantings in the northeast quadrant, and waterline plantings of native willow and cottonwood in the southeast quadrant. Six bird boxes will be added to support local wildlife. The initiative aims to rebuild a functional riparian canopy, suppress invasive weed species, and enhance biodiversity by fostering a diverse community of native vegetation suited to the area’s hydrological conditions. This effort is led by the Solano Resource Conservation District and is situated in a designated area with a ZIP code of 94571. The project was posted as a forecast on October 1, 2025, with Amy King, Ag and Water Program Manager, identified as the primary point of contact for inquiries. While no solicitation number or set-aside details are provided, the scope reflects a focused land management strategy aligned with ecological recovery goals in a critical riparian corridor. The project’s success hinges on the establishment of resilient native plant communities that will support wildlife, stabilize soils, and improve overall watershed health.
