The floating Classroom Program commenced in September 2023 and was completed in December 2023. This project was coordinated with the California Department of Water Resources and the Pacific State Marine Fisheries Commission to develop and fund an educational floating tour of salmon spawning in the Feather River. Due to the lack of spawning salmon on Butte Creek we opted to work with the Feather River groups and help provide the tours. Weekend trips were paid for by the participants which mostly covered costs. Several sponsorships and a donation from the Department of Water Resources allowed the program to offer free trips during the week for schoolchildren. The revenue from public sales was $17,145. Sponsorships raised came to $4,265. Expenses were $23,307

Program 3

Expenses: $3,175

The Water Rights Acquisition program received a grant in 2021 and utilized it to purchase a dedicated instream water right. The majority of the project was completed on March 16th, 15 days prior to this fiscal year. Remaining funds of approximately $3,175 were utilized in fiscal year 23-24 finalizing all the reporting requirements and closing out the grant.
