Protecting open space means we preserve the health and quality of streams, rivers and wetlands that help purify our water naturally.
Watersheds are creeks, streams and rivers.
The health of California's watersheds and the quality of the water is a reflection of how well we care for our natural resources. Stewardship of natural resources is the fundamental first step toward cleaner water and pollution reduction. Be aware that everything you put down your kitchen sink or in the storm drain in front of your house, ends up in our bays and wetlands. With the population of California increasing dramatically, we need to insure that these fragile ecosystems are preserved. Prevent polluted runoff.
