In an exciting and unexpected conservation success, 1,200 adult spring-run Chinook salmon—originally released as part of the San Joaquin River Restoration Program—made their way to the Tuolumne River, where they’ve found abundant habitat and cold, clean water in which to spend the summer prior to spawning in the fall. 

As part of our ongoing commitment to provide a healthy habitat for fish to thrive, Tuolumne River partners Modesto Irrigation District (MID), Turlock Irrigation District (TID) and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) are excited to announce the construction completion of the Tuolumne River Mainstem Channel Restoration Upstream of Old La Grange Bridge Project.
