Sonoma Creek Watershed Enhancement Plan

 

Following a two-year planning effort, the Southern Sonoma County Resource Conservation District completed the Sonoma Creek Watershed Enhancement Plan in June, 1997. The goals of the Plan were developed by a broad-based group of local community organizations, residents, and agriculturists. Their goal was to develop a plan that provides recommendations for management of the Valley’s natural resources agreeable to all citizens of the watershed and serve as a planning tool for years to come.

The goals of the Plan include:
  • Maintain long-term local control of watershed planning and enhancement.
  • Conserve and improve the natural resources of the watershed, including native wildlife species and plant communities, productive soils and health stream habitat.
  • Encourage responsible landmanagement practices that support a healthywatershed. Manage streams to maximize wildlife habitat while maintaining effective flood control.
  • Educate the community about the natural features of the watershed, its people, and economy.
