Central Sierra Environmental Resource Center

RIVERS/WATER: CSERC staff monitored riparian areas and wetlands, assessed stream conditions, and advocated for water quality in proposed projects and plans. Staff continued to play a lead role in the IRWM watershed planning collaborative process and in numerous river or water issues in the region.

LAND PLANNING: CSERC reviewed proposed development projects and land use policies in the local region. All projects that posed risks to natural resources were responded to with specific recommendations to minimize impacts and to better comply with natural resource objectives.
