Focus:

Friends of the Van Duzen River (FOVDR) is a grassroots community organization comprised of residents and visitors to the Van Duzen region.  We are dedicated to helping to restore the river for future generations.

FOVDR is also dedicated to preserving the salmon run and to training young scientists. FOVDR teaches environmental education grades K-12 in Humboldt working in the classroom and in the field. Each year we conduct salmon watch and have taken over 500 students to see salmon in the Eel and Van Duzen Rivers.

Bioregion Description:

Humboldt County has access to the Eel River, the 3^rd largest river system in California, which connects with the Pacific Ocean in numerous locations allowing for salmon migration. It is also the home of the Old Growth Redwood Forest.
