Vision


PictureFrom left to right: past, present, future. Original artwork by Doug Hansen ©2008.
Our vision is to create a healthy regional watershed with ecologically functional waterways, wetlands and uplands that provide abundant clean water for both people and wildlife.

We envision healthy riparian corridors along the mighty rivers and scenic creeks winding from the Sierra Nevada, Transverse and Coast Range mountains to the historic Tulare Lake Bed in California’s southern San Joaquin Valley. Restored wetland, upland and riparian habitats connected along these corridors comprise a healthy, regional watershed that mitigates the effects of climate change, offers clean and abundant water, recharges groundwater and stores flood water to protect thriving local towns. An abundance of wildlife, including more than 100 species of sensitive plants and animals, flourish in the surrounding open space where wildlife-friendly farms and ranches showcase the region’s rich agricultural heritage and diverse farming operations. Scenic vistas and natural areas offer recreational opportunities for families, enhance educational experiences for our children, and increase business and tourism opportunities for residents and visitors.
