Oh where have they gone!? The Central Valley's vernal pools come and go, along with the vernal pool fairy shrimp they bring with them. But where do these shrimp go when the pools dry up in the warmer, drier months?🦐💧 Listed as threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act, these shrimp thrive in the unique habitats of wet Spring. Before the pools dry up, they prudently lay drought-resistant eggs. Rest assured, they’ll be back! 🌞🥚 Curious about their lifecycle or conservation efforts? Contact Provost & Pritchard biology staff at (866) 776-6200 or email Principal Biologist Geoff Cline at [email protected]. 🌿 #VernalPools #FairyShrimp #EndangeredSpecies #Conservation #CentralValley #ProvostAndPritchard

Dreading the summer heat? Find out how blunt-nosed leopard lizards stay cool during the hot summer months in the Central Valley. Blunt-nosed leopard lizards are listed as endangered under both the federal Endangered Species Act and the California Endangered Species Act. They are also Fully Protected by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Endemic to the San Joaquin Valley, these lizards rely on small mammal burrows and low-lying shrubs to thermoregulate during the hot, dry summers. Once found as far north as Stanislaus County, they now inhabit less than 15% of their historic range, largely attributed to habitat conversion. If you have questions about blunt-nosed leopard lizards, please contact Provost & Pritchard biology staff at (866) 776-6200, or email Principal Biologist Geoff Cline directly at [email protected]. #EndangeredSpecies #SanJoaquinValley #HabitatProtection #SummerHeat #Thermoregulation #ProvostAndPritchard #ConservationBiology #ESA #CESA

Dena Traina's last day before her retirement was on June 7, 2024! 🎉 Although she didn’t want anyone to make a fuss, we couldn’t resist treating her to a special lunch during her visit to our Chico office. We all had a great time, and the restaurant even joined the celebration by bringing her TWO desserts! 🍰🍨😊 Her decades of experience and expertise have been a gift to the Chico team and all of us here at Provost & Pritchard. We're already missing her wisdom and warmth. ✨ Best wishes to you, Dena, as you embark on this new adventure. Enjoy those precious moments with your grandchildren and hobbies. Remember, you'll always have a warm welcome here! #Retirement #ThankYou #Celebration #TeamChico #BestWishes #NextChapter #Grateful #Memories

Thank you to all who attended the Association of Environmental & Engineering Geologists - AEG 2nd Annual Student Night! We are thrilled to congratulate the winners of the Rich Fink Memorial Scholarship: graduate winner, Andre Guimaraes, and undergraduate winner Jean St. James! It’s an honor to present this scholarship in Mr. Fink’s name. Rich Fink was a Principal Geologist at Provost & Pritchard for over 7 years and a co-founder of the San Joaquin Chapter of #AEG. The Rich Fink Memorial Scholarship was started shortly after his passing. Rich was a key technical mentor and a cherished friend to everyone in Provost & Pritchard’s environmental group and beyond. #RichFinkMemorialScholarship #AEGStudentNight #ScholarshipWinners #ProvostAndPritchard #Legacy #Mentorship

🌟 In a sentimental full circle moment, we recently had the privilege of visiting our old Cromwell office location with the Provosts to see how Westlands Water District (WWD) has remodeled the space. Mr. Provost started his career with Westlands, and it's heartwarming to see them now occupying a space that was once his professional home. 🏢💙 The remodel looks great! They added a big boardroom in the old central section, which added a nice touch. The rest of the space is still familiar but freshened-up. It looks amazing. ✨ We gifted them a plaque honoring the building’s full circle journey since Mr. Provost started his career as WWD employee #7. 🎁
