Watershed Project

The San Francisquito Watershed Project is a nonprofit stewardship organization dedicated to fostering the health and diversity of the San Francisquito watershed.

Working together with volunteers from the community, we restore habitat, monitor water quality and observe creek trends, raise awareness about the watershed, and provide policy support for local governments to keep the creek healthy and safe.
