These elderberry plants(Sambucas species) are home to the valley elderberry longhorn beetle (Desmocerus californicus dimorphus), or VELB. The VELB is currently listed as threatened and is completely dependent on the elderberry plant. #wesmitigation #conservation #elderberry #velb

This showy milkweed plant (Asclepias speciosa) grows on our Cosumnes Floodplain Mitigation Bank in Galt, CA. Showy milkweed is a vital host plant for monarch butterflies, whose numbers are on the decline. #wesmitigation #conservation #showymilkweed #savethemonarchs
