Watershed Stewards Program

 

Watershed Stewards Program (WSP) address many watershed issues facing California by partnering with a diverse range of organizations including federal, state, county, tribal and non-profit agencies.

The primary focus of WSP is to assist communities and organizations with habitat restoration for salmonoids (Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon and Steelhead Trout) in order to rehabiliate these threatened and endangered species to healthy and historic populations.

Additionally, WSP provides watershed education and outreach throughout California, engages WSP members in volunter opportunities, and helps Redwood National and State Parks develop the next generation of natural resource professionals.

 

 

"Restoration in the Redwoods" Events

Each spring the public can join the California Conservation Corps Watershed Stewards Program in partnership with Americorps for a fun-filled restoration volunteer event!

The March 2019 event involved pulling invasive Himalayan blackberry and planting native plants to restore salmonid habitat in Redwood National Park. The first sixty volunteers got a free Redwood National and State Parks bandana - and more than one hundred people attended!
