Land & Resource Management

As the historical inhabitants of California’s Capay Valley, our homeland is at the heart of our culture and heritage. To ensure our people survive and thrive many generations into the future, Yocha Dehe embodies a long-term view toward decisions, especially as they relate to stewardship of the natural resources that sustain our way of life.

Because our ancestors drew nourishment, strength and independence from the land of the Capay Valley, we feel an inextricable link that shapes our management decisions. Living in a dry climate, we have learned the importance of water to life, which is why our water treatment and conservation efforts surpass every other district in Northern California. And as a pathway to continued independence and self-sufficiency for our children and grandchildren, we are investing in clean renewable energy, including energy efficiency.
