Construction of the Delta Discovery Center is underway! Thanks to the Dutra Group more than 3000 yards of base material was delivered by barge to Rio Vista for the Discover the Delta Foundation project.
The Discover the Delta Foundation is a science based educational nonprofit
organization that is dedicated to teaching people about the wonders of the
California Delta and its amazing resources.
The mission of the Discover the Delta Foundation is to promote, protect
and preserve the California Delta by providing objective and science-based
information so that this very important resource
can be better understood,
enhanced and
enjoyed
now and for the future.
SAVE THE DATE: On Friday, June 1, 2012, the Tower will be raised at the Discover The Delta Foundation site. Please join us in the celebration. The huge 132' tall Dutra Tower, complete with two 55,000 gallon tanks, has travelled from Rio Vista, across the Sacramento River and down Hwy 12, where it now rests at the Discover The Delta Foundation Educational Center site. On June 1, its final preparation will be complete and the tower will be raised by Delta people and will represent a true beacon to the Delta region. A positive Delta project at a difficult time.

THE BUILDING
PG&E has made an incredibally generous offer of over 5000 yards (300 truck loads) of environmentally sound dirt as well as equipment and labor in laying down the pad for DTDF's 8,000 square foot Discover the Delta Education Center. Just one step closer to having our Center up and running!
