Sunset in an orchard below the Sutter Buttes. Photo by queerbychoice. The Yuba-Sutter Wiki is a community wiki for
Yuba and
Sutter Counties of California. It is entirely created and maintained by the people who use it: Everyone can edit this website!
Why would I want to use this website?
This is a great place for local event organizers to publicize upcoming events, photographers to share and host photos, athletes to find places to participate in their preferred sports, foodies to find and review local restaurants, history buffs to share knowledge of local history, gardeners to share knowledge of plants that grow well in our area, animal buffs to share their knowledge of local wildlife, bloggers to connect with other local bloggers, business owners to inform the public about local businesses, activists to raise awareness of issues that concern them, and people in general to create personal homepages and get to know each other better. In fact, you can use it to share information about virtually anything in the Yuba-Sutter area!
Why not just put all this same stuff on Wikipedia?
Wikipedia is intended for a global audience, and therefore only allows information to be posted on it that could be reasonably expected to interest a global audience. The Yuba-Sutter wiki is intended for a local audience, so you can feel free to go into a lot more detail here about things that might not interest the entire world - even rather silly things, such as posting personal pages about each of your pets. It is our hope to enhance the feeling of small-town familiarity with our neighbors by helping all of us get to know each other better.

The California Department of Fish and Game invites you on a guided tour of the Gray Lodge State Wildlife Area sanctuary, which is located at the base of the Sutter Buttes and is well known as one of the premier birding spots in northern California. Local experts will lead you on a 0.3-mile stroll, down a paved trail to elevated viewing deck. There you will have a bird’s-eye view of wildlife. Your guide will inform you of wildlife adaptations, natural history, and conservation efforts, and will help you better identify our wildlife. This is a fun way to learn about our wetlands. Tours take about two hours. Cost is included in the entrance fee for wildlife viewers. Self-guided visits are also welcome. Tours are canceled in heavy rain. No reservations necessary for groups under twelve people. For more information, call the Gray Lodge WA Naturalist Office (530) 846-7505 or email Ldieter@dfg.ca.gov

Events Board | [edit] |
RSS LiveJournal (What is this?)
Post a new event:
This is a place to post events! Just enter text as you would into the wiki. Try to use links to the pages associated with organizations or venues (so if you say "Local Music Scene" you should make that into a link, ["Local Music Scene"]). This makes it easier for people to find out more information on the organization or venue. If you need to, you can easily delete the event after posting it.
Feel free to include a logo, photo, or other picture related to the event. To include a picture, you must link to the picture externally (meaning it has to be hosted on some other website). Then just paste in the url of the image in brackets. So if the image is at http://example.com/picture.jpg you would put [http://example.com/picture.jpg].
Tips: Include the start and end dates/times, the cost (or note if free), a link to further information. Post at least a week in advance, if possible. Events are assumed to be open to the public unless otherwise noted.

2011-06-25 15:53:57 So I uploaded a pic of the water being so very high at Bullards Bar Reservoir but it doesn't show on the page (
http://yubasutter.wikispot.org/Bullards_Bar_Reservoir) What did I do wrong? —IngridMKollmann
2011-06-25 17:18:39 I can't figure out why the first image filename you tried didn't work. However, the current image filename did work after I edited the page to refer to that image filename rather than to the old image filename. If you look at the changes I made to the Bullards Bar Reservoir page, you'll see what I did. Thank you for sharing your great photograph! —queerbychoice
2011-12-29 17:35:58 Your knowledge of the Territorial Dispatch is woefully inaccurate and biased. Hopefully is not indicative of the remainder of your work. —69.227.214.124
