MAN BEHIND GUADALUPE MAMMOTH FIND
Source: MIKE CASSIDY column Mercury News
 If anybody was going to find what's left of that 15,000-year-old mammoth near the banks of the Guadalupe River, it was Roger Castillo.The San Jose forklift mechanic lives the river.For most of his life he's waded in it, fished in it, videotaped it, measured it and talked about it to anybody who would listen.''It's my river,'' Castillo, 44, says.OK. It's all of ours. But the rest of us don't pay much attention to it. The Guadalupe-who?

 SSRG- The Salmon and Steelhead Restoration Group is committed to restoring the Guadalupe River in San Jose, CA. for the migration of Salmon and Trout.

  This web site is for educating the citizens about the status of wildlife and habitats in the river and tributaries.

Multi Media Pictures, Audio, Video and Animation are used to show how Salmon lives, once thrived, and now are struggling to make a comeback in the High Tech Capitol of the World!

Where did the Salmon come from?

 We believe our Silichip Chinook has been migrating the Guadalupe River for years.

While we have yet to conclusively prove this we have spoken to residents who have seen salmon in the rivers as far back as 1940.

We are looking for people to help us document the history of the river, salmon, trout and its wildlife.

If you have any information, stories, or pictures please contact us. We will put them on the website for others to learn from.

Restoration Through Education
 This is the theme for our newly initiated directive. SSRG has announced the "Silichip Project" to bring together local resources for establishing an Environmental Science Program. By using education we hope to promote an understanding of natural environments and our responsibility to them.
