Crew working in river restoration
Crews with the Yurok Tribe Construction Corporation and Yurok Tribal Fisheries Program work with California Trout to restore a 1,000-foot section of Prairie Creek for salmon-rearing habitat. This work is culturally important for Yurok people, as salmon are essential to their way of life. Photo by CalTrout/Michael Wier.
