Water Rights for Fish and Wildlife

November 25, 2012

The firm represents The Nature Conservancy in a petition to dedicate water rights for the Big Springs Ranch in Siskiyou County to instream use for the protection of fish and wildlife in the Shasta River. The project becomes a model for sustainable ranch management to protect endangered coho salmon. The firm later represents private ranch owners along the Shasta River in similar efforts to dedicate more water to fish and wildlife protection.
