Scott River Watershed Council

The Scott River Watershed Council (SRWC) provides a volunteer, multi-interest effort to cooperatively seek solutions in order to help improve local resources and facilitate community collaboration on watershed issues. The primary purpose of the SRWC is to inform the community on resource issues, to aid in resource management and to foster good stewardship of our watershed ecology. The purpose also includes promoting effective, voluntary solutions on issues that face our watershed and related communities, today and in the future. At the same time, the SRWC focuses on the recognition and sustainability of Scott Valley’s unique way of life and strives to make this a better place to live, work and visit, now and for future generations. The SRWC also strives to help monitor the effectiveness of implemented programs, plans and projects so that locally controlled, informed decisions and future plans can be made to maintain and improve our watershed.

The Scott River Watershed is defined by the geographical boundaries formed by the natural landscape for which rainfall runoff drains, directly or indirectly, into or towards the Scott River serving all natural resources and human interests.
