Mission: Creek Lands Conservation is reaching sustainable solutions for both working lands and natural areas through: scientific studies that inform restoration and conservation solutions for private landowners, public agencies, and allied nonprofits; partnerships that leverage and catalyze effectiveness; programs that engage students, adults, and stakeholders in conservation and watershed science.
Target demographics: conserve and restore freshwater and near shore marine ecosystems throughout California’s Central Coast
Geographic areas served: California Central Coast, from Monterey to Ventura
Programs: Creek Lands restored local ecosystems to enhance habitat for steelhead trout and combined that with educational programs for the public, especially for young students. Our restoration activities include baseflow monitoring of creeks throughout San Luis Obispo county and the installation of large woody debris into a central coast estuary. Our educational offerings included trout in the classroom, an opportunity for students to raise trout from the egg stage and on a field trip, release their fish into a local waterway. Trout in the classroom served a total of 19 classrooms. We also provided field trips to our watershed education center for nearby classrooms.
