With temperatures in the upper 90s, we wanted to share a important landscape irrigation reminder. Water your landscape during the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler and evaporation is minimal. This allows the water to pe*****te the soil effectively and reduces the loss of water due to evaporation. Make the most of your water use!
__________
Con temperaturas que rondan los 95 °F o más, queremos compartir un recordatorio importante sobre el riego de sus áreas verdes. Riegue sus plantas y jardines temprano por la mañana o al final de la tarde, cuando las temperaturas son más frescas y la evaporación es mínima. Esto permite que el agua penetre eficazmente en el suelo y reduce la pérdida de agua por evaporación. ¡Aproveche al máximo el uso del agua!

With temperatures rising this week, it’s important to stay cool. Remember to keep hydrated with water and electrolytes, protect yourself from the sun, and find a place to cool off, like your home or a public space, such as the Woodland Public Library, splash pad at Jack Slaven Park, and/or the two pools in town.

The Sacramento Valley is getting hotter, and we are seeing more heat waves and 100+ days during the summer. Help keep everyone safe by taking care of yourself and checking up on those around you who may have a higher sensitivity to the heat. Stay cool out there!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ante el aumento de las temperaturas esta semana, es importante mantenerse fresco. Recuerde hidratarse con agua y electrolitos, protegerse del sol y buscar un lugar para refrescarse, como su hogar o espacios públicos —por ejemplo, la Biblioteca Pública de Woodland, la zona de juegos acuáticos del parque Jack Slaven y/o las dos piscinas de la localidad—.

El Valle de Sacramento está registrando temperaturas más altas; estamos viendo más olas de calor y días que superan los 100 grados Fahrenheit durante el verano. Ayude a proteger a todos cuidándose usted mismo y estando pendiente de las personas de su entorno que puedan ser más sensibles al calor. ¡Manténgase fresco!

A friendly watering reminder for today's Water-Wise Wednesday!
____
¡Un amable recordatorio de riego para el Miércoles del Uso Eficiente del Agua de hoy!

Watering early in the morning helps you beat the heat, reduce evaporation, and keep your plants healthier longer. A simple shift in timing can save up to 50 gallons each time you water. Set that alarm a little earlier and let your irrigation work smarter this summer. 🌿

May is Bike Month is coming to a close, so don't forget to log those last bike trips on NorCal.GO for the chance to win prizes!

Even though May is wrapping up, you can keep biking all year long! Biking is great for the environment, your wallet, and physical and mental health. Take advantage of the nice weather in Woodland and enjoy a bike ride in our local parks and bike lanes. You can even try your *pedal* on the 16-mile Woodland Bike Loop!

Here in Woodland, cars and trucks are the top contributor to summer air pollution, producing roughly 70% of the emissions that form smog. Driving less frequently is the best way to help reduce summer air pollution and carbon emissions from transportation. Biking is a great way to drive a little less often!
