Mission


The Tulare Basin Watershed Partnership mission and vision is to engage partners, stakeholders, and funders in headwaters to groundwater multi-benefit projects that enhance regional ecological and economic health, agricultural heritage, healthy waterways and wildlife habitat, and abundant clean water for nature and people.

Vision

Our vision is to create a healthy regional watershed with ecologically functional waterways, wetlands and uplands that provide abundant clean water for both people and wildlife.

We envision healthy riparian corridors along the mighty rivers and scenic creeks winding from the Sierra Nevada, Transverse and Coast Range mountains to the historic Tulare Lake Bed in California’s southern San Joaquin Valley. Restored wetland, upland and riparian habitats connected along these corridors comprise a healthy, regional watershed that mitigates the effects of climate change, offers clean and abundant water, recharges groundwater and stores flood water to protect thriving local towns. An abundance of wildlife, including more than 100 species of sensitive plants and animals, flourish in the surrounding open space where wildlife-friendly farms and ranches showcase the region’s rich agricultural heritage and diverse farming operations. Scenic vistas and natural areas offer recreational opportunities for families, enhance educational experiences for our children, and increase business and tourism opportunities for residents and visitors.
