March Watershed Tour

Coyote Creek Watershed Tour

by Deb Kramer

The Committee for Green Foothills hosted a Coyote Creek Watershed Tour on a cool Saturday in March. The tour had many participants from agencies, students, and other concerned residents. 

At each of the four stops, experts discussed the issues surrounding the continued viability of the creek, including the fish and wildlife, cultural and neighborhood issues, waterways and dams, pollution, and homelessness.

SJSU student Sonya Herrera wrote up a nice article and photos about the tour. Please see the Spartan Daily to read it.

Below are some photos from the various stops.
