HELIX team members attended the 2026 California Society for Ecological Restoration (SERCAL) conference in Fortuna which brought together restoration and environmental professionals from across California to share ideas, explore innovative approaches, and advance the practice of ecological restoration. We enjoyed connecting with peers, learning about emerging science and best practices, and contributing to conversations that support resilient ecosystems.

HELIX was pleased to be a part of the completion of Nicolas Road and Calle Girasol in the City of Temecula! The eastern half of Nicolas Road was previously dirt. This project also added a new portion to the Temecula Loop Trail. HELIX provided biological and cultural surveys, obtained regulatory permits for crossing Santa Gertrudis Creek, prepared the restoration plan and long-term management plan, helped retain the long-term habitat manager, and provided biological, cultural, and paleontological monitoring during project construction.
