New State Grants for the Modesto Waterway

"New state grants totaling about $8 million will enhance fish habitat on the Tuolumne River, and better connect west Modesto residents to the waterway.

The grants will continue efforts to restore spawning areas and floodplains for salmon, trout and other fish between La Grange and Modesto. This stretch often runs low and slow because of upstream diversions to local irrigation districts and the Bay Area.

The recipients include two nonprofits – the Tuolumne River Trust and the Tuolumne River Conservancy – that have long worked on behalf of the stream."
