In 2012, Quivira partnered with the Sonoma County Water Agency and the United States Army Corps of Engineers on the first stage of a six-mile enhancement of Dry Creek Coho salmon habitat. Last summer, project partners created a side channel on Quivira property that allows young coho and steelhead to escape fast-moving water during high-winter flows.
Congressman Huffman will present Quivira his Sustainable North Coast certificate in recognition of their work in restoring salmon habitat and healthy waterways.
