10th Annual Wine Festival NEW! Plants at Chanslor The Chanslor Wetlands Wildlife Project protects approximately 250 acres of crucial wetlands habitat in the historic fishing village of Bodega Bay, California, 1.25 hours north of San Francisco. The mission of the organization is to establish and operate an economically self-sufficient environmental education facility and wildlife preserve. The Project was dedicated in June of 1993 and is supported by the hospitality and recreation businesses operated by Chanslor Wildlife, LLC on this unique property. The Project area is part of the Salmon Creek Watershed and encompasses brackish marsh, a tidal lagoon, freshwater marsh and pond, riparian habitat, wet meadow and seasonal pools. The northern border of the property is Salmon Creek, a breeding stream for threatened coho salmon and steelhead trout. Located on the Pacific Flyway, this varied ecosystem attracts myriad migrating shorebirds, waterfowl and raptors. Red-legged frogs, western pond turtles and rare forms of plant and animal life thrive within the preserve area. The Wetlands Project is part of the historic Chanslor Ranch originally part of Rancho Bodega established in 1844 and a rich human history is part of the property. Former residents include Coast Miwok, Spanish explorers, Russian settlers, and Italian sheep and cattle ranchers.

The Ramsar Convention on Wetlands World Wetlands Day 2003 - index page World Wetlands Day 2004 W hat is World Wetlands Day? 2 February each year is World Wetlands Day. It marks the date of the signing of the Convention on Wetlands on 2 February 1971, in the Iranian city of Ramsar on the shores of the Caspian Sea. WWD was celebrated for the first time in 1997 and made an encouraging beginning. Each year, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and groups of citizens at all levels of the community have taken advantage of the opportunity to undertake actions aimed at raising public awareness of wetland values and benefits in general and the Ramsar Convention in particular. No wetlands - no water! The suggested theme for World Wetlands Day 2003 is " No wetlands - no water " (the slogan taken from the title of our new poster), in honor of the UN's International Year of Freshwater. The Ramsar Standing Committee thought it fitting to urge celebrants of World Wetlands Day to associate their activities with the IYF in order both to strengthen that worthy effort and to raise the prominence of their own WWD efforts by being among the first International Year of Freshwater celebrations of the year. The International Year of Freshwater The United Nations General Assembly in resolution 55/196 proclaimed the year 2003 as the International Year of Freshwater. The resolution encourages governments, the United Nations system and all other actors to take advantage of the Year to increase awareness of the importance of sustainable freshwater use, management and protection. It also calls upon governments, national and international organizations, non-governmental organizations and the private sector to make voluntary contributions and to lend other forms of support to the Year. The Web site of the IYF is hosted by UNESCO at
