Mission Statement

SYRCL unites the community to protect and restore the Yuba River watershed.

Vision Statement

We envision a future in which the Yuba River watershed thrives and is resilient in the face of climate change. We envision a free-flowing Yuba and healthy ecosystems that support wildlife and people — from the ridges to the canyons and the summit to the sea.

We envision a community that reflects the relationship between a healthy watershed and human quality of life; one that values a sustainable water future; one that celebrates the Yuba River’s natural and cultural heritage. 

We envision a vibrant, science-based community organization that serves as a leader for environmental stewardship and activism in the Yuba River watershed — and that inspires others to make a difference in their communities.

Values & Beliefs

  • The natural environment is essential to human harmony and livelihood.
  • As all rivers connect communities, we know that our work here inspires people beyond our watershed.  We pledge to conduct ourselves with the utmost integrity and respect for the diversity of opinion and life experiences of others.  
  • “People Can Save a River.” This founding premise inspires, empowers, and emboldens us to take collective action against threats to the Yuba’s waters and ecosystems. 
  • SYRCL cultivates a professional and personally enriching work environment, which supports our dedicated team of staff, Board, and volunteers.  Recognizing ourselves as a true “citizens league,” our work is inspired by the Yuba and driven by the community.
