Watershed Tours and
Project Site Visits
The best way to understand the natural processes involved in our surrounding area is to explore our watershed. The availability of water, the quality of water, the abundance of wildlife, and the splendor of our natural landscapes is all dependent on a community’s understanding of watersheds. The Alpine Watershed Group hosts trips out in the field to experience Alpine County's watersheds first hand. These trips include visits to monitoring sites, ecology tours, and visits to restoration areas.
