River Monitors are community members who have become trained in water quality sampling and participate in monthly sampling occasions. These incredible volunteers range from high school students to senior citizens, dedicating nine months of their time and energy to the river. If interested, please attend our two-part training!

This field-day training is the second part of the two-part new River Monitor training, taking place at Bridgeport-South Yuba River State Park. Hands-on training on how to take measurements, use monitoring equipment, fill out the data sheet and other river monitoring instructions.

Scotch broom is a non-native invasive weed that has become rampant throughout the Sierra foothills – especially Nevada County. It is highly flammable, whether it is dead or alive. Removing it reduces the risk of catastrophic fire.

Join SYRCL’s River Avengers and help remove this species from our watershed!

Saturday, April 4, 9am-1pm

Kneebone Beach, South Yuba River State Park.

Bring a lunch, water, sturdy shoes, and join your fellow river-lovers in removing this invasive species!

Tools and snacks provided.

Questions and to register please contact Mary McDonnell at mary@yubariver.org or (530) 265-5961 ext 216.

Like the President’s annual address, SYRCL’s annual “State of the Yuba” serves as a report to the citizens of the Yuba watershed on the condition of the river, to outline SYRCL’s priorities for the coming year, and most importantly, enlist all river lovers in the protection and restoration of the Yuba. We also honor our Volunteer of the Year and Partner of the Year!

This FREE event is for all members of the community who care about the Yuba River and want to know more about SYRCL’s efforts to protect the watershed.

Doors open at 5:00pm, program starts at 6:00pm
