Hikers will visit a storage and forbearance project, a natural off-stream pond, and a proposed in-stream pond groundwater recharge project. Other topics will include watershed function and health, and impacts of low flows on salmonid populations. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about cutting edge approaches to water scarcity, applicable world wide.
This hike will be led by Tasha McKee, Brad Job, Sam Flanagan, and Ray Lingel from Sanctuary Forest, BLM, and the Mattole Salmon Group. This one-mile hike has a moderate exertion rating and will cover uneven terrain adjacent to a small stream. Bring a lunch and water, wear sturdy shoes, and dress in layers. They will meet at the Sanctuary Forest office in Whitethorn at 10 a.m.
The hike is free of charge, though donations are gladly accepted and help Sanctuary Forest to offer this program year after year. For questions or clarifications, contact Marisa at marisa@sanctuaryforest.org, or call 986-1087 extension 1#. Hope to see you there.
