Officials with Sonoma County announced on Tuesday the launch of the Russian River Revitalization project.
Officials with Sonoma County announced on Tuesday the launch of the Russian River Revitalization project this summer, aimed at improving the river’s health in spite of recent wildfires and ongoing drought conditions.
The project is being carried out via a collaboration with Russian River Confluence, a collation of more than 22 organizations, and will engage businesses, residents and visitors in stewardship of the river — a critical natural resource in western Sonoma County.
The project will also identify solutions to the environmental challenges threatening the river, country officials said.
Sonoma County Supervisor Lynda Hopkins said in a statement:
“This project is long overdue. … Floods, fires and now the drought have caused enormous challenges to our local businesses and the health of our river. Sonoma County is determined to provide all the support possible to support the vitality of this delicate resource.”
County officials have also tapped Healdsburg-based agency Catch Creative to help develop the campaign to inspire stewardship and engagement.
County officials said stakeholder meetings will be announced in the coming months for research and input from residents.
