Phase 1 Watershed Assessment 

Phase 2 Watershed Assessment
 
 

 

 

This community-based program is strictly voluntary and non-regulatory in nature.  The Millerton Area Watershed Coalition is composed of participants that represent land owners and others that have an interest in the protection and sustainable use of our natural resources in the foothill region of the San Joaquin River drainage.  The Coalition has been in existence since 1998.  Organizations that have partnered include the Coarsegold and Sierra Resource Conservation Districts, Highway 168 FireSafe Council, Sierra-San Joaquin Weed Management Alliance, Sierra Foothill Conservancy, and the Central Sierra Watershed Committee in a technical advisory role (TAC).   

Funding has been provided by the California Bay-Delta Program (CALFED) which has as an objective to restore ecological health and improve water management by working with the community at a watershed level.
