13th Annual Mokelumne Current is here

Students from 14 Lodi schools, along with several private schools, studying the Mokelumne River watershed this year have created the 2026 Mokelumne Current newspaper. The 8-page publication highlights the work of many watershed programs that take place throughout the school year. Funding for this project was provided through generous grants from the C.A. Webster Foundation and Waste Management.

Lodi Lake Wilderness Update

Over the last several months, the City of Lodi has received reports of multiple deer deaths within the Lodi Lake and Nature Area. The City coordinated with San Joaquin County, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, UC Davis, and other partner agencies to conduct testing and evaluate possible causes.

Testing performed on sampled deer point toward natural disease processes and poor overall animal health conditions rather than evidence of intentional poisoning or an immediate public health concern.
