Sep. 24--State plans to remake Colusa County farmland as wetlands took another blow when a state appeals court upheld a 2004 decision blocking the takeover of the Traynham Ranch east of Arbuckle. The 3rd District Court of Appeal in Sacramento rejected the appeal by the Wildlife Conservation Board and Department of Fish and Game. Both agencies sought to turn 235 acres they purchased in 2001 into wildlife habitat, but a year later the California Farm Bureau Federation and the county sued to prevent the change. Colusa County Judge John Tiernan sided with the Farm Bureau and the county in 2004. The appeals court upheld Tiernan.
