We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to restoring native habitats across California’s North Coast region. Since our founding in 1991, we have been innovators in stream and estuarine habitat restoration. We work collaboratively with public and private partners to restore watershed function and enhance vital habitat for imperiled fish and wildlife populations. Together we design and implement projects that:
​
-
re-establish salmonid access to spawning and rearing habitat
-
reduce sediment pollution in streams
-
restore riparian habitat, off-channel ponds, and stream channels
-
enhance tidal connectivity in estuarine habitats
-
replenish log habitat structures in aquatic habitats
-
protect sensitive botanical and wetland resources
-
help make the North Coast more resilient to climate change
