Protecting Riparian Habitat

We are the Santa Clara River Conservancy, a member of a small group of organizations doing conservation work along the Santa Clara River, filling a unique niche in the watershed.  The river has numerous threats, needs, and opportunities, and the SCRC is uniquely focused on all the issues facing the river.  We are working to raise awareness and create access to the river for local communities.

Substantial
The Santa Clara River watershed is 1,600 square miles, which is just slightly smaller than the state of Delaware.

Enduring

Santa Clara River is one of the least altered rivers in southern California.
Sustaining
The watershed provides habitat for a wide array of native plants and animals and has historically supplied humans with water, fish, and fertile farmland.

Featured Project

Cienega Springs Ecological Reserve

Sespe Cienega
The goals of the project are to actively restore 234 acres of degraded river channel and floodplain within the Cienega Springs Ecological Reserve to a mosaic of wetland and riparian habitat types, improve the site’s hydrology for surface water retention and groundwater recharge, and provide a wildlife-oriented recreational opportunity for the surrounding disadvantaged communities. The project will have multiple benefits, including restoring habitat diversity and complexity, expanding floodplain connectivity, improving water resources, and providing climate change resiliency and recreation and educational opportunities.
