The Van Duzen River Watershed
Humboldt County, California


The river cascades through 70 miles of Coastal Mountains, from an elevation of 5,906 feet at the headwaters, to its confluence with the Eel River at an elevation of 62 feet.
The Van Duzen has been federally designated as a "Wild and Scenic River", but also has been listed as "sediment impaired" under section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act.

The Van Duzen River basin is the site of redwood parks, ranches, timberlands, and residential neighborhoods.

Salmon Watch on the Van Duzen River

Friends of the Van Duzen River and the Van Duzen Watershed Project will be sponsoring their annual Salmon Watch Night at the Cuddeback Elementary School in Carlotta on Wednesday, November 28th from 6:30-8:00.

We have invited Steve Cannata, California Fish and Game Biologist, to give a talk about the historic salmon runs in the Eel River estuary, and to lead a panel discussion. Sal Steinberg will share information about the Science in the Schools projects. Join the Salmon Watch Project for the Van Duzen River and help to count live fish and carcasses, and to map spawning grounds. All ages are welcome.
