A newly forming watershed foundation modeled after the Henry's Fork Foundation
The Upper American River Foundation (UARF) group will be a member-based organization founded to conserve and protect the unique qualities of the Upper American River watersheds in Placer and El Dorado Counties.
The objectives of this group include identifying issues that need to be resolved and developing funding that will be needed to help resolve them so future generations will continue to be able to enjoy the experiences that we have enjoyed during our lifetimes in this area.
The approach will include working with existing resource-management agencies, private land owners, and other stakeholders to increase everyone's level of appreciation and understanding of the abundant resources in this area and how they need to be managed as one big inter-related system. This group will be very active in regional decision-making and policy. Relationships built within the framework of this foundation will strive for full understanding of individual interests and regulatory management in the watershed to address watershed issues with mutual respect for all stakeholders.
