CRNA Slideshow
2026

In the fall of 2025, 25 seniors in the Photography BFA program at Sacramento State headed into the Yolo Bypass to learn about the floodplain we live in. Accompanied by Carson Jeffres (UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences) and John Brennan (Brennan, Jewett, Hackett) students viewed new water infrastructure projects, salmon habitat restoration efforts, and the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area. They stood in rice fields and climbed up onto a harvester. They encountered deer swimming through canals, invasive primrose, red-winged blackbirds, and red tailed hawks. They met farmers, government officials at the county and state level, and state agency workers.

This slideshow shares some of what they saw, and ran on a media wall daily March-April 2026 at the CNRA Lobby in Sacramento, CA.
