It sounds as though you need to contact the Pacific Legal group. They are in Seattle, but they handle property right issues all across the country, pro bono.
Linkee not workee.
I looked up Sacramento Valley Refuges. It is north of Sacracmento.
Hanford is to the south of Sacramento, and our land is dry, water-less scrub brush. It is known as the Atwater Island Plat, and is a geologic feature known as a natural gas dome. Tulare lake, actually a marsh, used to be around it. Not even enough water there now, even for a marsh.
