The Conservancy is hosting a Tire Recycling Point for Delta landowners to recycle tires illegally dumped on their property, Saturday, April 12, 9 a.m.-noon. The site is on West Sherman Island Road, on Sherman Island, at “The Sign”, just past Rio Viento RV Park (4460 W Sherman Island Rd., Rio Vista, CA). This is not an amnesty program; only illegally dumped tires qualify. The Conservancy is partnering with Bridgestone Tires’ One Team One Planet, who is picking up the recycling fees. For more information email Susan Roberts or contact 916-375-2088.

On October 18th, 2011, the Delta Conservancy and the Water Education Foundation co-hosted their first annual conference. Formally titled "Changing Our Perspective: New Ways of Thinking About the Delta" the daylong conference offered unique ways to approach the complex issues in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.

Well known strategists Jeff Conklin and Ian Mitroff discussed how the Delta is a "Wicked Problem" and how people often solve the wrong problem very precisely. Dialogue between the two explores different strategies and approaches that can be used not to "fix" the problems in the Delta, but to "manage" the conditions in the Delta to maintain both its local and statewide resources.
