Please visit, use and contribute to our new regional watershed library/portal. This portal and growing library site contains information on active organizations, people, projects, reports, maps, meetings, and much more!
This online library/portal is meant to help improve communications and collaborative working relations in the American River Watershed and adjacent watersheds that supply water to or receive water from the American River
The American River Watershed Group was founded in 1996 after a call for collaboration in resource management issues in the North and Middle Forks American River.
The ARWG is not holding regularly scheduled meetings at present. Until the ARWG begins meeting regularly again, please feel free to contact Bill Templin and take part in the meetings and activities of the Upper American River Foundation (UARF). UARF generally meets the 4th Thursday of each month at 7:00 pm. You can contact Bill at wetemplin@att.net or 916-601-9954, and see the UARF web site for further details.
