Join the Water Education Foundation’s Russian River Tour, August 6-7, 2009

From the Water Education Foundation:

SANTA ROSA, Calif. – Facing many of the same water management challenges common to western rivers today, the Russian River watershed has become a microcosm of innovation as local water agencies work to solve complex issues through programs for water conservation, fisheries management, water recycling and more. Learn about these efforts and see this unique watershed firsthand on August 6-7 for the Foundation’s Russian River Tour.

This 2-day, 1-night tour begins and ends in Santa Rosa, traveling from the headwaters to the mouth of the Russian River, stopping at a winery along the way and visiting the redwood forests on the banks of the river. Participants from last year’s tour said that seeing the locations firsthand and hearing from the stakeholders involved was an excellent way to learn about the environmental concerns and competing needs of this ecosystem.

Stops include visits to Warm Springs Dam, Lake Mendocino and Coyote Dam. A wide range of experts will discuss topics such as salmon and steelhead fisheries issues, conservation efforts in the Sonoma region, flood control along the Russian River, recycled water usages and more.

This tour is a must for water board managers and directors, consultants, journalists, water policy-makers, and anyone with an interest in the Russian River valley.

This tour is cosponsored by the Sonoma County Water Agency. Registration is $435 per person, single occupancy room; $360 each for two people sharing a room.
