Delta Culture, Arts & Heritage

In addition to having some of the richest soil in the world, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is also home to a culture rich in diversity and uniqueness. Home to multi-generational farm families, and farm workers alike, sailing enthusiasts, water skiers, windsurfers, bird watchers, picnickers, hunters, campers, and recreational and subsistence fishermen, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta is a crossways where each new generation of Californians has made vital contributions that have shaped and strengthened the region. And as each new group has settled within the Delta, all have developed a deep appreciation for the area’s natural beauty and the Delta way of life.
