Sacramento River Watershed Program

This month, four tribes will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Salmon Run, by making the over 340-mile journey from the mouth of the river on the California coast to the headwaters in southern Oregon... their efforts coincide with far-reaching political, scientific and conservation work by the Klamath, Karuk, Hoopa Valley and Yurok tribes, which together launched a massive and ultimately successful campaign to remove the four Klamath River dams.

This year’s salmon run is a celebration along the Klamath River Twenty years ago, tribal youth founded the Salmon Run to call for the removal of four dams along the Klamath River. This year’s run will coincide with work to demolish them.

Due to the additional rainfall and snow, California's extreme drought designation was downgraded the week before to a moderate drought.

Is the California drought over? What’s the situation after the latest snowstorms? California is at 181% of its usual snowpack for this time of year, son pace to surpass levels from the 1982-1983 season.

Don't miss this must-see performance, Chico! We're proud to partner with Chico Performances to celebrate the natural beauty of California.

"Treelogy is a celebration and a call to action to save California’s beloved and iconic trees. Inspired by California’s epic wildfires chronicled by The New York Times journalist John Branch (Soraya Executive and Artistic Director), Thor Steingraber, and Soraya artist-in-residence, Etienne Gara, have created a musical response to the fires and a tribute to these precious trees. Renowned composers Billy Childs, Steven Mackey, and Gabriella Smith—all with deep California roots of their own—have each composed original music for this three-part concert. This unprecedented, multi-disciplinary effort will emphasize the pride of our state and the memories of every family’s national park vacation."
