Key Values That Guide Our Work,

Habitat Restoration - Restoration done well is supported by public policy and is an important investment in the future health of the Sacramento River. Balanced restoration should be a benefit to the communities of the area and not a burden.

Balance - Effective restoration can be in balance with the other community needs in the river corridor, including agricultural production, public safety, public and private infrastructure, economic stability and public recreation. While restoration will change how some things are done in the community, it does not have to disrupt the communities and people who live in them.

Working Together - The Sacramento Valley has been and always will be a diverse mix of people, activities and interests. SRCAF supports the diversity within the valley and the importance of working together to respect each other's needs and to help find workable solutions to the challenges we all face.

Open Communication - Healthy discussion among the many interests in the valley will lead to positive, sustainable solutions. Inherent to effective communication is openness, accuracy and honesty. The SRCAF is committed to dialogue that leads to solutions, and will create opportunities for people of diverse backgrounds and opinions to work through conflict to create solutions.
