| Can you think like a salmon? That was the challenge for people who wanted to restore and maintain the natural systems of the Mattole River in northern California. They found that thinking like a salmon leads to thinking like a stream, then to thinking like a watershed, and finally to thinking like a watershed community. Here, elementary school children rear, spawn and release salmon into streams that have been reshaped and revegetated -- in forests that have been replanted with native trees. | Thanks to widespread community cooperation, a fragile recovery of a once troubled watershed has begun. Those involved realize that they must continue to exercise utmost care to maintain the gains made in the past seventeen years. |
