The Sutter County Resource Conservation District was recently awarded over $2 million in grant funding for the design of a habitat restoration project along the Feather River. In order to restore side channel habitats for juvenile salmonids, this planning project will facilitate designs, environmental permits, revegetation and invasive plant removal within a 1.5 mile stretch of the Feather River in Sutter County.  Mike Johnson, president of the Sutter County Resource Conservation District, said that upon completion, this project will help improve 231 acres of floodplain and riparian habitat.
