Join the South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) for Wild for the Yuba – a special Dinner & Auction – on Friday, June 5, 2026, from 6:00-9:30 pm at the beautiful grounds of the Schrammsberg Estate in Nevada City, CA. This year's Wild for the Yuba will feature great food, an array of fabulous auction items donated by local businesses and artists, and the chance to celebrate our watershed with others who care deeply about protecting the Yuba.
