Mokelumne River watershed to be protected
Tens of millions of dollars could flow to grant-funded forest restoration and watershed management in the tri-county area, funds that the authority can spend on local contractors, said Steve Wilensky, founding member of the Amador-Calaveras Consensus Group, a community-based organization that works to build fire-safe communities, healthy forests and watersheds, and strong local economies. The consensus group was a contributor to the agreement.
