•Six Rivers National Forest visitors are reminded to be extra careful while recreating on forest lakes and rivers this spring, especially on the Trinity River. Planned increased instream flows from Lewiston Dam into the Trinity River and Iron Gate on the Klamath will result in higher water levels, swifter currents, colder water and submerged hazards.

•April is National Safe Digging Month, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company reminds customers to call 811 before starting any excavation project, large or small. Whether planting a tree, installing a sprinkler system or building a fence, homeowners and professional excavators need to know where gas and electric lines lie underground to prevent injuries, property damage and outages.
