Note from the President

FoGR Newsletter, December, 2024

As I sit down to write this year’s newsletter, I find myself reflecting on the essence of our organization and our collective impact on the Gualala River watershed. It’s a complex and ever-evolving landscape, requiring our constant attention and dedication.

How can we best express our gratitude to our supporters? How can we inspire more people to get involved and make a difference? How do we navigate the complex issues of land use, water rights, and environmental regulations? How can we honor the legacy of those who came before us and ensure a sustainable future for the river? What can we do to be more authentic in our intentions to care for the watershed?

These are the questions that guide our work at FoGR, some of which is reflected below. As we continue to explore solutions to these challenges, we invite you to join us in this journey.

Whether it’s volunteering your time, donating to our cause, spreading the word about our mission, or simply enjoying the watershed through kayaking, hiking, or fishing, your support is invaluable. Together, we can protect the Gualala River for generations to come.

Sincerely,
Nathan Ramser
President, Friends of Gualala River
