The InterAmerican Clean Energy Institute is pleased to announce that its Executive Director, Heather Rosmarin, has been appointed by the Walnut Creek Watershed Council to lead its Watershed Restoration Planning Steering Committee. The purpose of the Steering Committee is to help produce a watershed restoration plan for the Walnut Creek Watershed (Contra Costa County, California) that reflects the vision of community stakeholders and meets state and local requirements for watershed plans.
"I'm delighted to chair the Steering Committee and to contribute to the important work of the Walnut Creek Watershed Council. Creek, riparian, and wetland restoration initiatives are key nature-based climate solutions," Rosmarin said.
The Walnut Creek Watershed Council is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) organization that supports a healthy and sustainable Walnut Creek Watershed. The Walnut Creek Watershed is the largest watershed in Contra Costa County, California, totaling 146 square miles, or 96,000 acres, in size and including 309 miles of creek channels.
Key partners in the watershed restoration planning effort include the Contra Costa County Flood Control & Water Conservation District and the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District as well as multiple cities, creek stewardship groups, and NGOs.
Rosmarin further noted: "Long-range multi-stakeholder collaborative efforts such as the Walnut Creek Watershed Restoration Plan process are essential to achieving regional, state, national, and international goals to restore ecosystems, protect biodiversity, and mitigate climate change. By engaging local communities in this process, we hope to cultivate a culture of stewardship at all levels of action."
