The Coastal Watershed Council's (CWC) San Lorenzo River programs occur throughout the year and include research opportunities in water quality monitoring, habitat restoration, youth empowerment and community engagement.
By re-building multi-generational, personal connections to the San Lorenzo River, CWC is shifting the way people interact with this critical natural resource in their daily lives. By engaging the broader community, CWC achieves environmental goals while equipping the Santa Cruz community with the knowledge, tools and experience to tackle other challenging problems. That community capacity building serves Santa Cruz far beyond the water quality and natural environment benefits. The result is not just a cleaner, healthier San Lorenzo River, but a thriving community where neighbors and families feel safe and welcome in nature and empowered to make a difference for their communities.
