Oroville leaders propose wildlife refuge to protect Feather River and combat illegal dumping
Oroville city leaders are actively working to combat illegal dumping along the Feather River by considering a new designation for the area. Councilmember Shawn Webber has proposed transforming the river stretch between Table Mountain Bridge and the Highway 70 Bridge into a city park. However, the proposal has evolved with growing support for establishing the area as a wildlife refuge, primarily to protect the sensitive salmon population that uses this section of the river for spawning after their journey from the Pacific Ocean.
