Danielle Feulner

Danielle Feulner

Our Luncheon speaker for January will be Danielle Feulner who will speak about the Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve. Danielle is the Administrative Assistant for the Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve.
The Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve (BCCER) is located on the ancestral land of the Mechoopda Indian Tribe. The BCCER is under the direction of Chico State Enterprises. The mission of the Big Chico Creek Ecological Reserve is to preserve and steward critical habitat and to provide a natural area for environmental research and education.
The BCCER is currently closed to all visitors due to the 2024 Park Fire. The fire caused varying degrees of damage to the reserve’s 7,835 acres of land, destroyed the reserve’s headquarters and most other structures, and deeply impacted the flora and fauna.
While the University is still assessing how programming will be adapted in the wake of the fire, there are immediate, critical needs to minimize further harm to the wildlife, landscape, and watershed, and to ensure continuity of operations. You can support this work with a gift to the BCCER Emergency Fund.
