The Watershed Project supports teachers and students with high-quality watershed education curriculum, usually at no charge. Our lesson plans and activities incorporate best practices in environmental science education, equity and inclusion, and social-emotional learning. Check out our resources here!

Learn about the environmental and equity benefits of urban greening. We facilitate community planning processes and implement strategies such as bioswales, rain gardens, and low-impact design that improve the natural beauty, biodiversity, and resiliency of our urban watersheds.

Have you ever wondered what’s under the water of San Francisco Bay? More than you might imagine, but not as much as there once was. Our Wild Shorelines program is focused on restoring habitats for native Olympia oysters in the Bay and along its shoreline.

What we do on land affects the health of our watersheds and ocean. The Healthy Watersheds Initiative organizes beach and creek cleanups and trash assessments, neighborhood Block Ambassadors in North Richmond, water quality monitoring in Contra Costa creeks, and more. Find out how you can get involved!

To tackle watershed challenges, strength comes from collaboration. We offer green urban planning, advising on climate adaptation and climate resiliency strategies, participatory design, and visioning facilitation. We foster networks of stakeholders, particularly in West Contra Costa communities that have historically been under-estimated. Learn more!
