San Francisquito Watershed Project

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

Working with community volunteers, the project restored habitat, monitored water quality and creek trends, raised awareness about the watershed, and provided policy support for local governments.
