Vision
We look forward to a time in the Mattole
watershed when “restoration” will no longer be needed to address
the effects of our land-use practices, and the watershed and
its human communities are healthy and self-sustaining. We
seek to educate ourselves regarding the natural processes
at work involving the flora, fauna, geology, and streams of
the Mattole; to learn about best land management practices;
and to share with our neighbors what we learn. We hope that
a common understanding of these factors will help to shape
community standards that will sustain the natural endowment
of this place for future generations.
Mission Statement
The objectives and
purpose of the Mattole Restoration Council
are the restoration of natural systems in the Mattole River
watershed and their maintenance at sustainable levels of health
and productivity, especially in regards to forests, fisheries,
soils, and other native plant and animal communities.
The Mattole Restoration Council will pursue this goal by:
- undertaking work in watershed rehabilitation
and salmon enhancement in the context of watershed-wide
planning processes
- actively seeking affiliation with other
groups in the Mattole watershed that share similar goals
- pursuing the education and involvement
of watershed residents and landholders in the process of
watershed recovery, maintenance and preservation of natural
systems, and sustainable harvest techniques
- conducting research and encouraging the
development of land-use techniques and cultural and economic
activities which further the sustained productivity of the
resources base in the Mattole watershed
- entering into cooperative undertakings
with private land owners and with federal, state, and county
agencies toward the achievement of our goals
- encouraging the development of regional
and watershed-based self-reliance through creative, productive
and interdependent human relationships with the Mattole
watershed
- advising individuals, agencies, and corporate
entities whose activities might impact the health and productivity
of the Mattole watershed
- cooperating and communicating with community-based
groups with similar goals in other watersheds.
