A River Float from Mill Creek to Woodson Bridge
Saturday, May 17, 2008

Presented by Sacramento River Preservation Trust & Adventure Outings

The Sacramento River Preservation Trust (Trust) and Adventure Outings (AO) are co-sponsoring a Sacramento River float on Sunday, May 4, 2008. The float will cover 6 miles of the Sacramento River just outside of Chico, near Hamilton City, and will last from 8:00 am to approximately 2 pm.

This is a great opportunity to see, experience and photograph this scenic stretch of river! Binoculars are recommended. A wide range of bird species, both resident and migratory, may be spotted. Other wildlife, including salmon, river otter and deer, may make their presence known as well.

Timmarie Hamill of the Big Chico Creek Watershed Alliance will be on board to present and demonstrate the Stream Team water monitoring assessment process as part of the day's activities.

Boating equipment (rafts and lifejackets) and river guides will be provided by AO. Participants will start in Chico, meeting at the AO Equipment Warehouse. Transportation is provided, with a trip cost of $25 per person for Trust members or $35 per person for non-members. Due to insurance restrictions, only adults (18 and over) are allowed.

This trip will fill up quickly, and there is a limited amount of space, so call the Trust soon at (530) 345-1865.
