NORTHERN CALIFORNIA — Please join Tuleyome for an online monthly “Nature & You” Zoom lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28.

This lecture by Alicia Hamann, executive director of Friends of the Eel River, will cover the past, present and future of the Eel River watershed.

The Eel River watershed covers a large section of northwestern California, encompassing parts of six counties, from Lake County in the southeast to Humboldt County in the northwest.

The headwaters of the mainstem of the Eel River are in the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument.

Specifically, the lecture will be discussing the Potter Valley Project — the two dams and diversion in the headwaters of the Eel River undergoing a relicensing process.

This relicensing process could result in the removal of at least one of the dams and some very big changes for the Pillsbury basin region.

This lecture will be online in a Zoom meeting and registration is required. Please register with this link.

Registered participants will be sent an email with login information. If you're registered, you'll also be sent a link to a recording of the lecture even if you were not able to attend.
