Malibu Creek Watershed Council

The Malibu Creek Watershed Council is made up of a long list of representatives working to protect and preserve the health of the Malibu Creek Watershed and its adjoining watersheds. These representatives helped create the 1995 Natural Resources Plan, which serves as a planning guide for overall watershed health. This Natural Resources Plan outlined 44 Action Items, later distilled to the Top Ten Watershed Restoration Priorities in the 2001 Making Progress: Restoration of the Malibu Creek Watershed report. Led by the Resource Conservation District of the Santa Monica Mountains, the Council meets every other month to discuss watershed-related issues pursuant to these priorities. The meeting is public; we welcome your attendance. To receive Council meeting notices, please contact the Resource Conservation District at 818-597-8627.
