Help restore a high mountain meadow
Love the high country near Carson Pass? Volunteer to help us study a high mountain meadow in the Mokelumne River watershed. Our first field trip to the meadow is scheduled for Saturday, October 15. If you can make it, please contact Randy at 209-295-4900 or send him an e-mail. And if you have friends who might be interested, please let them know about this opportunity to help restore a dry meadow to lush, green bird and wildlife habitat.
EBMUD workshop held September 27
Last week, the East Bay Municipal Utility District held a workshop on the revision of the utility's 2040 water supply plan, which still includes plans to expand Pardee Reservoir with a new, higher dam and flood more of the Mokelumne River. While opponents showed up and spoke up for the river, no member of the public spoke out in support of the dam.
Together, We Will Save the Moke!
