The Upper Mokelumne River Watershed got some financial help last week. The Sierra Nevada Conservancy last week approved a $500,000 grant that will support restoration of meadows and thinning of overgrown forests in the Pumpkin Hollow area not far from Cabbage Patch on Highway 4. The Upper Mokelumne River Watershed Authority will manage the funds. The work is expect to improve water yield and quality to the Mokelumne and Stanislaus rivers. The total amount needed for the work on the nearly 1,000 acre project is more than $800,000 and the rest will come from federal grants.
