SARSAS -Save Auburn Ravine Salmon and Steelhead

The goal of SARSAS is to return salmon and steelhead runs to the entire fifty mile length of the Auburn Ravine and to create the conditions so the salmon can spawn in the City of Auburn in Auburn School Park Preserve. So doing is a project that will take much money, work and volunteer hours so if you want to help, sign up on the Comment section of any Posting. Auburn, California, is located in Placer County approximately thirty-five miles east of Sacramento on Highway 80. Please help us.
