Watershed Improvement Program builds capacity in eastern Sierra
The east side of the Sierra Nevada is remote and sparsely populated. Like many rural places, it has struggled with a lack of local resources to plan and implement large complex projects. That is about to change. In 2019, the SNC invested in the Eastern Sierra Climate & Communities Resilience Project to engage stakeholders, create a partnership, and collaboratively develop a needs assessment, project goals, and proposed actions. Over the past 1.5 years, the project has done just that with the help of another SNC grant recipient, the Eastern California Water Association.
