South Fork of the Eel River.

Pressures from drought to irrigation to marijuana cultivation affect the streams in our region. 

The film "A River's Last Chance" focuses on the Eel River in Humboldt County.  It holds promise as a place for fish populations to recover, but it also faces many pressures on its use. 

The film is one of the headliners at the February 10 Siskiyou Film Fest at the Grants Pass Performing Arts Center.  Filmmaker Shane Anderson and Jeanine Moy of KS Wild, the festival sponsor, visit the Exchange.
