An in-depth look at a major Sacramento Valley success story.
For more than two decades, Butte Creek salmon numbers have soared, thanks to an innovative, wide-ranging collaboration between landowners, urban and agricultural water managers, conservationists and state and federal officials. This was a groundbreaking effort that helped guide and contribute to a larger, concerted program to enhance our environment by improving spawning and migratory corridors for salmon and reconnecting them to historic floodplains in the region.
"A revolution in thought
and practice."
Thank you to Ken "Creekman" Davis and John Hannon for providing footage for this project.
