The Upper Putah Creek Stewardship is a nonprofit, community based watershed organization located in Lake County, CA which began in 1996 and received 501(3)c status in 2000. The Stewardship wants people to be watershed literate and able to make conscious decisions that balance economy, environment, and social equity. We want to enhance and maintain water quality and habitat, and community well-being, through education and careful action. We do this through water quality monitoring, youth-based education, and community outreach. |
