Stewardship toolkits
CARMEL RIVER WATERSHED stewardship toolkits
The Carmel River Watershed Conservancy creates these toolkits to provide landowners and stewards a guide and resources on how to provide and take care of our shared Watershed
DROUGHT AND FLOOD MANAGEMENT
Managing water on your home and property helps protect your land, conserve resources, and restore the natural water cycle that development has disrupted.
native vegetation
Native vegetation plays a critical role in soil stabilization, water conservation, and supporting wildlife. In the Carmel River watershed, native plants help reduce erosion, support pollinators and birds, and improve resilience to fire and drought.
wildfire mitigation
The Carmel River Watershed spans a wide range of ecosystems from coastal wetlands to high-elevation forests. These zones differ in rainfall, vegetation, fire behavior, and management needs. Understanding this variation is key to planning effective fire-safe actions.
