The Watershed Project

Epa wildcat:our project aims to empower underserved communities to participate in the planning, design, and implementation of the wildcat creek watershed action plan 2040 (wccap 2040). Contra costa county's wildcat creek watershed faces significant environmental and social challenges, necessitating a comprehensive update to the existing wildcat creek restoration action plan (wrap) initiated in 2010. Specifically, our focus lies on historically under-resourced communities in the lower parts of the watershed, which have been disproportionately overlooked and are most affected by environmental and societal issues related to the creek. Through our efforts, we will enhance their involvement in the wccap 2040 process, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs are addressed.

Greening urban watersheds:restoring natural function to the urban landscape by building green infrastructure with volunteers and community members of all ages. We help communities plan and implement strategies such as bioswales, rain gardens, and low-impact design projects that protect local watersheds from the pollution generated by modern life. These collaborative efforts help ensure the free flow of local creeks, reduce urban runoff, promote the spread of native plants, and improve the natural beauty and biodiversity of our urban watersheds.
