At 2:00PM, Eric Wilder, former chairman of the Kashia Band of Pomo Indians, will open the event with a Kashia Pomo song and talk about the cultural significance of the Gualala River.
This will be followed by a panel discussion with Redwood Coast Land Conservancy (RCLC) and scientists from Prunuske Chatham, Inc.

A Q&A session with the panelists will follow the discussion. You can ask questions in person or submit them online here.
This work is part of a collaborative restoration effort funded by CDFW’s Fisheries Restoration Grant Program.
