Share with Your People

On April 24th, SYRCL delivered its 6th annual State of the Yuba address. In celebration of the Yuba River watershed, we invited the community to hear from our team about SYRCL’s vision for the next five years, current projects, challenges, recent successes, and opportunities to get involved. We honored our Volunteer of the Year, Nathan Hoxie and Partner of the Year, the Truckee Donner Land Trust.

If you missed the State of the Yuba, don’t worry. We recorded the whole evening so you can catch up on all that SYRCL is doing to protect the watershed.
Watch it here.
