SYRCL UNITES THE COMMUNITY TO PROTECT AND RESTORE THE YUBA RIVER WATERSHED.
WILD AND SCENIC FILM FESTIVAL - 2020 BROUGHT SYRCL'S 19TH ANNUAL WILD & SCENIC FILM FESTIVAL. THE "FLAGSHIP FESTIVAL" IN NEVADA CITY AND GRASS VALLEY OCCURRED IN JANUARY 2020 AND FEATURED MORE THAN 120 FILMS, SCORES OF GUEST FILMMAKERS, WORKSHOPS, ART, MUSIC AND CELEBRATIONS FOR 8,000 ATTENDEES TO THE 5-DAY EDUCATIONAL EVENT. THE "ON-TOUR" PROGRAM, WHICH PARTNERS WITH OTHER NON-PROFIT GROUPS, TRAVELED TO MORE THAN 150 COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES SHARING INFORMATIONAL AND INSPIRATIONAL FILMS AND STORIES.
IN 2019-20, SYRCL'S RIVER SCIENCE PROGRAM WAS FULLY ENGAGED IN FISH AND HABITAT STUDIES ON THE LOWER YUBA RIVER AND MEADOW RESTORATION PROJECTS AT THE YUBA HEADWATERS. ALSO, IT PROVIDED SCIENTIFIC INPUT INTO REGULATORY PROCESSES THAT AFFECT RIVER FLOWS IN THE YUBA BASIN. THE RIVER SCIENCE PROGRAM INCLUDES THE RIVER EDUCATION PROGRAM WHICH BROUGHT EDUCATIONAL PRESENTATIONS ON WATER CONSERVATION AND FISH HABITAT TO SCHOOLS IN NEVADA COUNTY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES. RIVER MONITORING, ANOTHER COMPONENT OF RIVER SCIENCE, ENTERED ITS 19TH YEAR, AND CONTINUED TO MONITOR THE WATER QUALITY OF THE YUBA RIVER USING VOLUNTEER CITIZEN-SCIENTISTS TO COLLECT DATA SO THAT ANY POTENTIAL THREATS COULD BE DETECTED. EACH YEAR, MORE THAN 80 RIVER MONITORS COLLECT HIGH QUALITY DATA AT NEARLY 40 SITES.
THE RIVER PEOPLE PROGRAM ENGAGES THE ENTIRE WATERSHED COMMUNITY TO BECOME INVOLVED AS VOLUNTEERS THROUGH RIVER AMBASSADORS, RIVER RESTORATION & MONITORING, THE WILD & SCENIC FILM FESTIVAL, SPECIAL EVENTS, AND THE YUBA RIVER CLEANUP. THIS PROGRAM CONTINUTES TO COORDINATE ONE OF THE LARGEST RIVER CLEAN-UPS IN CALIFORNIA WITH OVER 800 VOLUNTEERS. TO PROMOTE RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN STEWARDSHIP OF THE YUBA, OUR RIVER AMBASSADOR PROGRAM CONNECTS WITH 8,000 VISITORS OVER THE 12 WEEKENDS IN THE SUMMER AT SEVERAL RIVER CROSSINGS NEAR POPULAR SWIMMING AREAS ALONG THE SOUTH YUBA RIVER STATE PARK. RIVER AMBASSADORS, WHO ARE SPECIALLY-TRAINED VOLUNTEERS, EDUCATE THE PUBLIC AND ASSIST WITH PROMOTING FIRE-SAFETY, RECYCLING, AND LITTER PREVENTION. THIS WAS THE 8TH YEAR OF THIS PROJECT AND IT CONTINUES TO RAISE PUBLIC AWARENESS THAT VISITORS NEED TO "PACK OUT WHAT THEY PACK IN."
