Contra Costa Watershed Forum
The Forum is an open committee of some fifty organizations, including state and local agencies, local non-profit environmental and education organizations, community volunteer groups, and private citizens. The work of CCWF participants is premised on the notion that actions in a watershed are inter-related and, therefore, that broad participation and cooperation is needed to affect change. Members of the CCWF work together to find common approaches to making our water resources healthy, functional, attractive and safe community assets.

Santa Cruz Mountains Bioregional Council
The Santa Cruz Mountains Bioregion covers an area of 3,592 square kilometers (1387 square miles) on the central coast, bounded on the north by the Golden Gate, on the East by San Francisco Bay and the Santa Clara Valley, on the south by the Pajaro River and on the west by the Pacific Ocean. It includes all of San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties and the western part of Santa Clara County. The region is essentially one of heavily populated lowlands surrounding a core of forested uplands, with small to large pockets of everything from salt marsh to chaparral intermixed. It is rich in endemics and many other natural features of special interest, some of whose past and current distributions are well known, others hardly at all.

California Native Plant Society
The Santa Clara Valley Chapter was founded in 1972, meeting a growing need for action concerning the native flora of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. The first chapter field trip was led by Gerda Isenberg, April 22, 1972, to the Yerba Buena Native Plant Nursery. Fifteen members participated. The first issue of the chapter newsletter, The Blazing Star, was June 1, 1972, and the first wildflower show was held at the Saratoga Horticultural Foundation April 29, 1973. The newsletter, wildflower show, field trips and chapter meetings continue to this day, as has the growth of our membership devoted to the enjoyment of our native flora and its preservation. The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) is a state-wide organization dedicated to the preservation of the California native flora in its native habitat. In 1965 a group of citizens in the East Bay organized meetings to campaign against the dismantling of the arboretum in Tilden Park. Their success led to the founding of the first CNPS chapter in Sacramento in 1967.
