The Monte Rio Redwoods Expansion moves forward, protecting over 1,500 acres of forest and watershed in a major conservation effort.
With salmon season approaching, boaters are encouraged to review safety tips before heading out.
The upcoming Lower Russian River MAC meeting on June 12 will focus on the County’s General Plan Update and introduce the EPIC public art campaign, which promotes keeping trash out of local waterways. The meeting will also include a brief summary update regarding a possible Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD) in unincorporated West County.
