This is Carol Oz. She volunteers for the mokolumne watershed project. She checks the PH of the middle fork seasonally, and cleans up trash along the river. I feel that the river is a very important part of the community, and that we should do all we can to preserve it and keep it healthy.

What is an understory? The understory is the part of the forest that grows under the tree canopy. It's a shady area made up of a mixture of plants which usually need more light to leaf out and grow.
And that's what our project is about. Shining a light on how a diverse group of rural residents in the forested Sierra foothills of California are creating new paths toward community revitalization.
This blog is about community, collaboration, and change. It's a space to bring together a network of people who are interested in the community renewal efforts of the Blue Mountain towns of West Point, Wilseyville, Glencoe, and Railroad Flat in
A group of Blue Mountain area youth are using cameras and computers to share their perspectives and showcase local change efforts. We invite you to view their work, give feedback, and share your own stories of community change.

Some day I would like to take you to a small stream called Hunter Creek. It is a tributary to Forest Creek. Hunter has magic.

It is great that you are identifying one of the individuals that are so passionate about the upkeep of our surroundings and homes. I have been to so many rivers throughout California that are beautiful and peaceful, and then come across trash and it really upsets me. I pick up the trash that I see but I feel like it is a loss cause because it is so much easier for people to throw trash on the ground than to pick it up or save it for a trash can.
