“Wild for the Yuba is SYRCL’s way to kick-off  the summer river season, and is a great way to support SYRCL’s work to protect and restore our watershed throughout the year,” said Executive Director Caleb Dardick.   “We invite you all to join us as we celebrate our local treasure, the Yuba River, and contribute to the work SYRCL is doing to improve conditions on the Yuba through education, advocacy and restoration.”

In addition to the beer and wine tasting, the Wild for the Yuba event will have a silent auction, live auction, live music by Mojo Green and food vendors.  The event is from 5-9pm at the North Star House in Grass Valley.

If you don’t already know about the SYRCL River Ambassador program, click here to learn how you can become a part of the team of volunteers who help educate locals and visitors about keeping the river clean.  The South Yuba River is one of the great assets in our community, so let’s all do our part to preserve, protect and enjoy the river.   You can meet one of the River Ambassador volunteers at Bridgeport, 49, Purdon and Edwards Crossings each weekend through August.

Now, if you’ve gotten this far– how about a giveaway?  I’ve got 2 tickets to this weekend’s Wild for the Yuba event, please post a comment here on why you love the South Yuba River and I’ll draw the winner on Wednesday, June 3rd, so act quick.  Special thanks to photographers Kial James, John Daly and Rich Shipley for sharing some of their favorite river photos.  South Yuba River photos by Kial James Photography

    These are great photos and really capture the beauty and wildness of the river. The best part about the Yuba is the fact that there are quiet places that aren’t too hard to get to where you can enjoy the water and sun and the incredible beauty.

    I love the Yuba because of the “magic” she holds. It seems like no matter how bad a day you might be having, sticking your toe in her crisp blue/green waters will cheer you up.

    Gorgeous blog!!
    for me – underwater love! Bubble curtains, amazing visibility, swimming in and out of current to the still places and back in the rush and movement, through tunnels, swooosh, and then a warm granite rock to recharge body heat and head right back in!!

    I love being so close to this river. The hiking, the swimming holes, the habitat, the pride I take in knowing it’s in “my house”….. just a few of the reasons why I will always have a special place in my heart and soul for South Yuba River. Thank you SYRCL and Outside Inn for being such great stewards and ambassadors of this local treasure…. and thank you to the PHOTOGRAPHERS who contributed their work to this blog. Mind. Blown.
