Becky McRay, The North Umpqua Foundation president

Today we have a conversation with Becky McRae, President of the North Umpqua Foundation. Becky describes the programs of the NUF: restoration work in the North Umpqua watershed, scholarship programs, Fish Watch to protect steelhead fish in Steamboat Creek, and community education. Becky talks about favorite places to visit on the North Umpqua, "the most beautiful river in the world". The North Umpqua Foundation is also a patent holder on a unique new tool to extract DNA from fish with no harm to the fish, by collecting fish slime as it passes by a WIFI enabled monitoring station.
