Community Monitoring

In conjunction with the State Water Quality Control Board, there will be a community monitoring team established this summer.  As agencies experience more and more cutbacks, taking care of our natural and cultural resources may fall directly on the community.  Please contact Salmon River Restoration Council (530-462-4665) for more information, especially if you would like to be involved, and/or have something to  report.
