Flood Season Comes to the Cedar River Watershed

November 19, 2009

Autumn rains have arrived in the Cedar River Watershed and water levels are starting to rise. We want to ensure that homeowners along the river have the resources you need when floods come this year. We know that last year's flooding hit many people hard. All of us who have a stake in the Cedar River Watershed must work together this winter to be responsive to the needs of the people along the river.

Sincerely,

Your friends at Friends of the Cedar River Watershed

We've expanded our green footprint! In the past year, we've restored habitat from the top of the Cascade Crest to the Cedar River's ultimate mouth at the Ballard Locks. Take a look!
