Focus:
The Salmon River Restoration Council (SRRC) is a community-based non-profit group that works collaboratively to access, protect, maintain, and restore the ecosystems of California’s spectacular Salmon River watershed.
SRRC’s programs include a Cooperative Noxious Weed Program eradicating noxious weeds in our watershed using manual control methods rather than toxic herbicides. Our Habitat Restoration Program works to restore riparian vegetation, improves fish passage to blocked segments of spawning streams, enhances creek mouths to benefit fish, stabilizes stream banks, and restores mining tailing piles. The Fisheries Program projects focus on native fisheries restoration and monitoring. Water Quality Monitoring Program tracks quality and quantity of the Salmon River and its tributaries. The Fire, Fuels, and Forestry Program uses a collaborative approach to fire planning, fuels reduction, and forestry projects in our area. Our Watershed Education Program integrates bioregional and fisheries awareness into the curricula of the River schools and has met with much acclaim from students, teachers and parents.
Bioregion Description:
The Salmon River is part of the Klamath-Siskiyou Bioregion and boasts some of the most diverse and intact biological habitat in the Western US.
It provides essential clean water and genetic stock for the troubled Klamath River fishery and is of great importance to the recovery of larger Klamath River watershed’s health.
