Clean water and healthy streams are critically important to all biosystems, all aspects of the natural world. They are the baseline components of a healthy watershed, working alongside the forests, grasslands, riparian and chaparral ecosystems to sustain life. How these elements interact with each other and with human activities determine sustainability. 

Learn about the natural processes at work in a watershed and what is needed to maintain, or restore, a healthy watershed. How can we determine the health of a watershed?  What are the varying factors at play, and how do we nurture and protect them?

This event is presented in collaboration with the Geography, Environment and Planning department at Sonoma State University.
