Youth Stream Team
Our mission is to gather useful environmental information needed to protect the ecological health of the Big Chico Creek watershed, while engaging the local community in effective watershed stewardship.
Healthy creek systems like Big Chico Creek are integral to the overall function of the Sacramento River ecosystem and are important for providing safe drinking water, ground water recharge, flood control, critical habitat for listed and endangered fish and wildlife, and provide intrinsic scenic value to our community. Thanks to the amazing work and dedication of citizen volunteers, over 20,000 hours of community service have been provided, and six consecutive years of stream data has been collected, forming a baseline of information useful for tracking long-term trends in watershed condition cumulatively resulting from restoration activities, land management changes, and natural processes. |
