“Let me be clear: When the next firestorm comes—and it will—we need every gallon we can get. We cannot trade away a great water source & security for short-term gain or bureaucratic convenience. Removing Scott Dam without a researched, studied and proven water replacement strategy is not just short-sighted—it’s dangerous. We owe it to every family, visitor and firefighter to fight for a water system that protects us all.”
Our Mission
The Lake Pillsbury Alliance is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed to preserve Lake Pillsbury for public benefit.
We value Lake Pillsbury as the recreational and environmental centerpiece of the Mendocino National Forest; as an economic and recreational asset to Lake County; as a critical water resource for regional fire suppression; and as an integral part of our regional water supply system serving more than 600,000 municipal and agricultural users downstream in Mendocino, Sonoma and North Marin Counties.
We support the protection of all wildlife habitat and endangered species in the Lake Pillsbury basin and along the Eel and Russian Rivers.
The Lake Pillsbury Alliance advocates for the preservation of Lake Pillsbury (which is formed by Scott Dam) during discussions on the future relicensing of the Potter Valley Project.
