Cambria Santa Rosa Creek project sees flooding due to storm
Mother Nature proved again in late January that the force of torrential rainfall and surging water can undo about a decade’s worth of difficult, expensive habitat conservation work. The Santa Rosa Creek project completed in October in Cambria was designed to stabilize the path of the creek in a vulnerable North Coast area, while protecting its bank and its eponymous roadway. Devin Best, executive director of the Upper Salinas-Las Tablas Resource Conservation District (RCD), said the district worked with landowners “to preserve their property and also maintain the road so it doesn’t wash away.”
