Wildfires that broke out across northern California on October 8th,
2017 wiped out nearly 7,000 Sonoma County structures, including
2,900 homes in Santa Rosa alone, and over 100,000 acres of land. In
addition to leaving in their wake of loss of life, family histories and
homes, properties are now layered in hazardous contaminants that
threaten our watershed.
From fire retardant, heavy metals and toxic ash to organic byproducts
and exposed sediment, increasing rains leave all residents at risk of
contamination of our watershed via the 617 streams in fire-affected
areas.
Public agencies have partnered with grassroots organizations to
create the Watershed Taskforce.
What is needed now is a coordinated infrastructure and partnership
for distributing, monitoring, maintaining and removing Best
Management Practices (BMPs) around high-risk burn zones.
Sonoma County Conservation Action and Conservation Action Fund
for Education have been at the forefront of relief efforts in response
to the recent wildfires in northern California. With 26 years of local
grassroots organizing in Sonoma County and a strong track record of
mobilizing residents to implement environmental policies, we have
the history and community trust to work with private landowners,
neighborhoods and nonprofit partners to protect our watershed as
rains loom.
The Watershed Protection Program fills the essential need to navigate
mass coordination across between the County of Sonoma, the
Regional Water Boards and a network of grassroots nonprofits
including Clean River Alliance, Russian River Keeper, Community Soil,
Sonoma Ecology Center and other partners in order to protect our
watershed and soils from contamination and long-term harm.
This starts with source control at burn sites, and short-term
containment strategies, followed by long term remediation and
monitoring.
To volunteer, sign up on SonomaCounty.Recovers.org. To request

Thank you to Sonoma Clean Power and Jackson Family Wines for
helping support this collaborative effort.
