Everyone lives in a watershed and everything we do from work to shopping to play occurs in a watershed. The majority of creek‐side property is in private ownership, placing the responsibility for the health of the creek with you. Acting as a watershed steward you can protect San Luis Obispo creeks and help your neighbors to do the same.
