Tuolumne River Trust: Bay Area Organizer & Various Openings (San Francisco)
The Tuolumne River Trust is seeking a Bay Area Organizer to help promote a sustainable water
plan for the San Francisco Bay Area. The biggest current threat to the Tuolumne is a proposal
by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to divert an additional 25 million gallons of
water per day – enough to fill 1,000 swimming pools – from the River. The Trust supports water
conservation and recycling as a means to meet future demand without causing further harm to
the watershed. In 1984 the Trust celebrated its first victory when it gained “Wild and Scenic”
status for 83 miles of the upper Tuolumne River. In 1994, the Trust led an effort to derail an
economically and environmentally ill-conceived plan by the Turlock Irrigation District to dam
the Clavey River – the Tuolumne’s most pristine tributary. In 1995, we expanded our scope to
include the lower reaches of the Tuolumne, playing a major role in winning higher river flows
for wild salmon runs in the Central Valley.
