Something Big Is Taking Flight! Miles for Migration Fundraiser Every fall, the Central Valley comes alive as thousands of Sandhill Cranes and other migratory birds travel along the Pacific Flyway, making their way to important wintering habitats like the Cosumnes River Preserve. This year, you can help support their journey by taking part in Miles for Migration, a six-week virtual fundraiser benefiting the Friends of the Cosumnes River Preserve. Beginning October 26, participants can choose a mileage goal and walk, run, ride, paddle, or move their way through the migration. Track your miles, collect pledges, and challenge yourself while helping support the conservation of one of the Central Valley’s important wetland landscapes. Whether you participate on your own, with family and friends, or as part of a team, every mile helps protect the habitat that birds and other wildlife depend on. Your Miles Make a Difference Funds raised through Miles for Migration help support programs at the Cosumnes River Preserve, including: Habitat Restoration – Protecting and restoring wetlands, grasslands, and other important wildlife habitat. Wildlife Conservation – Supporting wildlife monitoring, research, and conservation efforts. Environmental Education – Connecting our community with the Central Valley’s natural landscapes and helping people understand the importance of wetlands and migration. Registration Is Now Open!
