| 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. |
Mattole River QuickTime VR's
| You can download high quality QuickTime Virtual Reality (QTVR) panoramas below. Once downloaded, you can navigate in a 360 degree circle, viewing everything that is visible from one spot. | You simply click the mouse down on the picture and scroll around. These QTVR pans take about 2 minutes to download for viewing with a 28 k modem. See QTVR Information for necessary plug-ins and preferred setup. |
Mattole River QuickTime Video
| You can play a QuickTime Video of a Digital Elevation Map (DEM) flyin over the Mattole River below. With our new compression techniques, this 14 second video will only take about 1-2 minutes to download for viewing with a 28 k modem. | This video must use the QuickTime 3 plug-in. You can obtain the necessary QuickTime plug-in at the Apple QuickTime Software page. We're sure you'll agree that this video will be worth the short wait. |
The Aurora Project is available as an interactive CD- ROM.
Please order the CD-ROM to experience the complete "virtual exploration"
of selected "Community Watershed Partnerships" located in the Western states.
