Knaggs Ranch, LLC

Knaggs Ranch, LLC, located in the Yolo Bypass outside of Sacramento, is an agricultural property dedicated to restoring salmon populations in the Central Valley through innovative collaborations with researchers and farmers. The ranch is part of a larger initiative to optimize habitat benefits for salmon and waterbirds while maintaining productive farming on the expansive 60,000-acre floodplain of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

Through projects like the Knaggs Ranch Agricultural Floodplain Study, the organization aims to reestablish self-sustaining stocks of Chinook salmon by utilizing inundated rice fields as rearing habitats during winter. Their successful pilot studies have demonstrated significant growth rates for juvenile salmon, garnering regional and national attention for their efforts to integrate agricultural practices with ecological restoration.
