Cosumnes River Preserve, Protected wetlands and oak forest area in Sacramento Valley, United States.
The Cosumnes River Preserve spans 51,000 acres of wetlands, grasslands, and oak forests along California's last free-flowing river in the Central Valley.
The Miwok Native Americans maintained these lands through sustainable practices until Spanish explorers arrived in the late 1700s, leading to population changes.
The preserve functions as an educational center where naturalists lead programs about local ecosystems, wildlife monitoring, and environmental conservation.
Visitors can access the 400-square-foot deck with interpretive exhibits at the visitor center, which remains open even when indoor facilities close.
The preserve maintains 160 wood duck nesting boxes and serves as a vital stopover for 250 bird species along the Pacific Flyway migration route.
