The Watershed Management Plan

This plan will prioritize issues, assign responsibilities, and set achievable goals for the short term.

Completion of the Plan is slated for March 2004.

The plan will be formulated by members of the watershed council with input from agency representatives, SCVWD, SCBWMI, environmental organizations, and other stakeholders.

Come to a Meeting

The Stevens & Permanente Creeks Watershed Council meets every other month to discuss ongoing projects, future plans, and current events that affect the watershed.

On a City level, check out the local Planning Board, Land Trust, or Commission meetings. These organizations make many important decisions that impact land use, water quality, and other environmental issues.

Start a Program at Your School

Watersheds are a valuable educational tool and can add a lot to science curricula in any grade. There are many on-line resources that can help in planning lessons, connecting with other schools and programs, and obtaining necessary materials.

Email the Flycasters ED Foundation to find out how they brought watershed education to local schools.
