Fairfax Volunteers received a competitive award of $5000 from MMWD for the installation of steelhead crossing signs modeled on the salmon crossing signs in Samuel P. Taylor park, as well as detailed, site-specific information panels. The grant includes funding follow up study to see if the signs achieve the goal of increasing citizen awareness of the watershed.

Manor School teacher, Laura Honda, and her students have helped fabricate the crossing signs. The Stream Life Awareness Campaign Committee (affectionately known as the SLACCers), led by the awe-inspiring Yvonne Roberts, has also received a $500 grant for this project from MCSTOPPP.
