Watershed Restoration Riparian Habitat Restoration
This past year, we successfully completed the restoration of a portion of Adelaida Creek. This particular spot had been hidden from view after previous owners planted pistachio and almond trees in the creek area starting in the early 1900s.

This project is a wonderful demonstration of how collaboration between our RCD, the County of San Luis Obispo, and a private landowner can work.

David Parrish, the owner of this piece of property, became interested in restoring the waterway, and he found a partner in the San Luis Obispo County public works department. The county was looking for projects to help offset environmental impacts.
