OUR ORGANIZATION

DRY CREEK CONSERVANCY

is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation organized in 1996 to facilitate watershed conservation, restoration, and education in the watersheds of Dry Creek, Pleasant Grove Creek, Auburn Ravine Creek, Coon Creek and surrounding areas in Placer, Sutter, and Sacramento counties.

DCC is a first choice of local government when they need a nonprofit partner for resource projects and resource outreach and is a valued partner in all stakeholder processes.

We organize projects and processes such as native plantings, salmon barrier removal, and monthly collaborative meetings that provide the community with opportunities to come together as partners. learn more

FEATURED PROJECTS

SECRET RAVINE FISH PASSAGE BARRIER REMOVAL

This project is the culmination of more than a decade of DCC coordination and fundraising. The result is a wonderful example of riparian restoration that provides free passage for Salmon and all aquatic animals.

HEMPHILL DAM FISH PASSAGE

After removal and better management of small ag dams downstream, and installation of the fish ladder at the Nevada Irrigation District (NID) gauge in Lincoln this ag dam is the next big barrier for fish to get to good spawning habitat. DCC is working with NID, Placer County, Foothill Water Network, Trout Unlimited, Wildlife Heritage Foundation, SARSAS and others to find a solution.

ANNUAL SPAWNING SURVEYS

For many spawning season is the finest time of the year. DCC has organized spawning surveys since 1997 using a method developed in cooperation with California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Volunteers from fishing clubs, all levels of government, and interested citizens walk the creeks to count salmon returning from the ocean to spawn in our small creeks.

AUBURN RAVINE PLANTING

DCC has organized spring volunteer events since 1996. Now events are held in both spring and fall in Lincoln, Roseville, Rocklin, Loomis, Placer County, and Sacramento County. Volunteers plant native plants, remove invasive plants, pick up trash, and go on nature hikes. It’s a beautiful time to be outside.
