California's Endangered Inset*.. —e Page 2 of 2 <br /> Current efforts to save the Valley Elderberry Longhorn Beetle have focused on revegetating riparian <br /> habitats. The California Department of Water Resources has assisted the U.S. Fish and Wildlife <br /> Service in replanting elderberry along parts of the American River. Efforts are currently underway to <br /> reintroduce the beetle itself into areas which it formerly inhabited. Some success has been acheived <br /> by transplanting inhabited trees to a site near Sacramento. <br /> For further reading: <br /> Barr, C. B., 1991.
