Our group presently is (similar to the Henry’s Fork Foundation) supported primarily by angler groups, but we have representatives from other interest groups as well. Our list of projects includes:

* Clean Up/BBQ/Fishing Outings in various parts of the watershed for education/outreach (Sugar Pine Res. 4/30/06)

* "Adopt a Display Board” with the U.S. Forest Service, Granite Bay Flycasters http://www.gbflycasters.org/ , Sac-Sierra Chapter Trout Unlimited http://groups.msn.com/TroutUnlimitedSacSierraChapter/, and the Foresthill High School on more education/outreach and interpretive/conservation activities.

* Participating in local collaborative efforts such as the:

     1. Placer County Water Agency Middle Fork American River Project FERC relicensing to increase information on how to possibly reduce the impacts of the hydroelectric power production project in the Middle Fork of the American River and increasing flows in the dewatered reaches to enhance the Wild Trout Fisheries that exist there now http://relicensing.pcwa.net/newsevents.htm, and

     2. Cosumnes American Bear Yuba (CABY) Integrated Regional Water Management Plan (IRWMP)  http://cabyregion.org/

* Working with U.S. Forest Service, Auburn State Recreation Area, Placer County Resource Conservation District, Placer County Water Agency and other interested agencies, organizations and individuals to increase access for angling in the watershed.

* We are also interested in helping to develop volunteer monitoring efforts to supplement the work on monitoring watershed health indicators that is already being conducted. We are especially interested in the impacts of sediment and mercury remnants from historic and current gold mining operations that were or are now in operation, as well as wastewater effluent exceeding discharge standards from the treatment plant in Colfax and from the impacts of off road vehicle users on the Rubicon Trail and other heavily used off road vehicle areas in our watersheds. Helping stewardship groups like the Friends of the Rubicon Trail and organized activities like the Watershed Education Summit and the Traverse Creek "Friends of the Nature Area (FONA)" Volunteer Monitoring are on our list of interests.
