The Yuba Strategy is SYRCL’s approach to organizing citizens in support of a restoration economy, watershed governance and the regeneration of wild salmon throughout the Greater Yuba River Watershed, from Source waters to Sea.

SYRCL’s vision and strategy for the Yuba River over the next generation is summarized in the new report (released June 2010) entitled “A 21st Century Assessment of the Yuba River Watershed” which overviews the entire watershed from cultural, physical and biological perspectives of that citizens group. SYRCL’s assessment provides a framework for ongoing watershed assessment by citizens and cooperating organizations, and it identifies priority restoration actions for both the upper and lower watershed.
