We have exciting news on our Wildlife Conservation Board/CDFW grant for the purchase of a water right dedicated to the creek and its’ creatures. The water that was formerly dedicated to agricultural use was no longer needed by the right holder and was transferred to instream flow dedication. We have finished the process and closed escrow in 2023 formalizing the purchase and transfer to FBC. We have established an Endowment for Butte Creek through the North Valley Community Foundation(see above). We need to raise another $10,000 to guarantee the funds necessary to maintain that right in perpetuity. In addition we are pursuing other opportunities to build upon this success.
