Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Tour for Public October 6th

The public is invited to tour the Upper Mokelumne River Watershed on Saturday, October 6th. The event is sponsored by the Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Council to educate the community about the Mokelumne River and its unique physical, biological, and historical resources, and to discuss watershed management and stewardship activities on the river. According to Project Coordinator Susan Snoke, “You will see and experience views of the river and landscapes only seen on this tour, not open to the public.” The tour will run from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm., beginning at the parking lot of Wendell’s Restaurant in Mokelumne Hill on Hwy 49 and continue on to Electra Road off Hwy 49 at Box Beach, South Fork of the Mokelumne River in Glencoe, Middle Fork at Barney Way in West Point, and the North Fork on Hwy 26 at the bridge (Red Corral Road). There is no cost to attend the tour and lunch will be provided but space is limited. For more information regarding the activity or to reserve one of the limited spaces, call Susan Snoke at 257-1851
