North East Trees and the Arroyo Seco Foundation, two local non-profit
organizations, are undertaking a new environmental approach to the
management of the approximately five square mile area of the Arroyo
Seco Watershed. The Arroyo Seco's combination of natural mountainous
upper watershed, hilly suburban openspace and dense urban development
presents unique opportunities to improve flood management, enhance water
quality, rehabilitate habitat, and provide regional recreational linkages.
The goal of the study is to integrate issues of flood management, water
resources, habitat rehabilitation, and educational and community
recreational opportunities.
