Despite all of our wealth and knowledge, we cannot create a redwood forest, a wild river, or a gleaming seashore.--Lyndon B. Johnson
While people cannot create a healthy, abundant, and balanced ecosystem, we can and do aid nature in restoring the anthropocentric damage to watersheds, forests, and wildlife. In this issue of Branching Out, three of our Partner organizations discuss their inspirational and effective efforts to assist in the healing of negatively impacted North Coast natural systems. The Eel River Salmon Restoration Project, Restoration Leadership Project, and Sanctuary Forest explore techniques, results, and lessons learned over three decades of on-the-ground watershed recovery projects in a region that can receive 80-120 inches of rain per year. Their work illustrates the power of grassroots efforts and a collective ability to bring human communities into harmony with wild landscapes.
