The mission of the Eel River Watershed Improvement Group (ERWIG) is to improve instream and related watershed habitat conditions in the Eel River basin, and surrounding California coastal basins, to benefit native stocks of salmon and steelhead. Our primary goals are to provide organizational and technical assistance to landowners & managers, to develop local watershed action plans, and to implement specific projects which will benefit salmonids. ERWIG is an incorporated non-profit, charitable class corporation, comprised of Eel River interest groups.
