[View the Watershed Management Meeting Summary.]

What is this?

The Executive Committee of the California Biodiversity Council determined that it would be greatly beneficial to archive the information presented to the Council at their regional meetings. As the Council travels around the State, local agencies representatives and private citizens go to great lengths to prepare highly educational presentations. This will be a place to collect and store that information for later reflection or for new visitors to enjoy.
