Agencies agree to monthly Cole Creek restoration meeting

The first monthly Cole Creek Restoration Project meeting came together after we spoke with interested agencies at the 21st Tule Boat Festival in July.

Lake County Water Resources, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Big Valley Rancheria, community voices, and FlowWest engineers joined the inaugural session and set a standing monthly cadence.

The goal is to surface blockers (in the creek and figuratively), find interagency opportunities, and keep the information flowing for grant applications so everyone can move in step.

We’re coordinating with the community and agency leads in between meetings to keep communications clear and momentum steady.
