About

Founded in 1983, the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) is an environmental organization dedicated to protecting and restoring the Yuba River watershed in California. Initially opposing dam construction, SYRCL contributed to the protection of 39 miles of the river under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. Currently, the organization focuses on conservation, education, and advocacy, including watershed science and the Wild and Scenic Film Festival. SYRCL, with 35,000 members and 1,300 volunteers, is supported by grants from government agencies and private foundations.
