Public input needed on the Tule River and Deer Creek watersheds
The public’s input is being sought on ideas for long-term resilience of two Tulare County waterways at a meeting July 7 from 1 to 3 p.m. via Zoom. The Tulare Basin Watershed Partnership is kicking off “Sequoias to the Sloughs (S2S): A Watershed Assessment and Stewardship Initiative” thanks to a $300,000 grant from the Bureau of Reclamation’s WaterSMART Cooperative Watershed Management Program. The meeting is the inaugural event of implementing the grant. The goal is to begin developing a unified vision for connecting the people, agencies, and organizations along the Tule River and Deer Creek watersheds, which begin high in the southern Sierra Nevada and wind their way to the San Joaquin Valley floor.
