Martin Luther King Day of Service

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?"

Each year Americans answer that question by performing community service on Martin Luther King Day. Join the Stewardship Program this year as we continue to restore riparian habitat at Cottonwood Creek.

Cottonwood Creek is the only stream that flows unimpeded into the San Joaquin River below Friant Dam. With the scheduled reintroduction of Chinook salmon to the river in 2012, Cottonwood Creek will provide an important source of food, nutrients and woody debris. Restoring the watershed by planting native trees, shrubs and grasses will make a vital contribution to the restoration of salmon to the San Joaquin River.
