Pints for Nonprofits, Comment Writing Workshop

Mad River Brewery Tasting Room

Want to grab a drink AND help your favorite river at the same time? Meet Friends of the Eel River at Paskenta Mad River Brewing for a pint night and comment writing workshop! $1 from every sale for the evening will go to benefit Friends of the Eel River’s work to conserve native species, protect public access, and advocate for a wild and free Eel River.

PG&E recently published their final License Surrender Application and Decommissioning Plan (LSA), bringing the Eel River one step closer to becoming California’s longest free-flowing river.

The Potter Valley Project includes two century-old dams in the Eel River headwaters and an out-of-basin diversion into the Russian River. The Project has failed in just about every way it can. It has long been uneconomic, no longer produces electricity, poses serious seismic risks, and the water supply is increasingly unreliable due to sedimentation of the reservoir.

At Thursday’s pint night, Friends of the Eel River will provide a presentation and suggested comments on PG&E’s decommissioning plan.

Removing the Eel River dams is the single most important restoration action we can take to support recovery of the Eel’s once-abundant native fish. The effort to Free the Eel is broadly supported by Tribes, commercial and recreational fishing folk, recreation advocates, and environmental NGOs. Take this opportunity to join your community and help correct a century of harm. Be a part of the movement to Free the Eel!
