We are back and we are listening
OUR MISSION: To protect and enhance the Merced Wild and Scenic River and its watershed through education, stewardship, and partnership-based projects.
The Upper Merced River Watershed Council was founded in 2001. For years, we were a robust organization with grants, staff, volunteers, and a number of community-serving projects. A ONE-TWO punch hit us in 2012 with a building fire that destroyed our office, coupled with a drought of grant funding causing us to lose staff. Since that time, a dedicated group of board members has kept the Council alive.
TODAY - thanks to a WATERSmart grant from the Department of Reclamation - we are reigniting our efforts!
We need to hear from you what river and its watershed needs today, and how you think our organization can help.
Thank you for filling out the following Google form. Your responses will help us determine the direction of our organization and actions we can take with the community to protect and enhance the Merced Wild and Scenic River and its watershed.
