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 waterplan for the San Francisco Bay Area. The biggest current threat to the Tuolumne is a proposalby the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission to divert an additional 25 million gallons ofwater per day enough to fill 1,000 swimming pools from the River. The Trust supports waterconservation and recycling as a means to meet future demand without causing further harm tothe watershed. In 1984 the Trust celebrated its first victory when it gained Wild and Scenicstatus for 83 miles of the upper Tuolumne River. In 1994, the Trust led an effort to derail aneconomically and environmentally ill-conceived plan by the Turlock Irrigation District to damthe Clavey River the Tuolumnes most pristine tributary. In 1995, we expanded our scope toinclude the lower reaches of the Tuolumne, playing a major role in winning higher river flowsfor wild salmon runs in the Central Valley.
