The Santa Clara River is one of the longest, most natural,
and fastest changing rivers in Southern California. From its headwaters in the
San Gabriel, Topatopa, Sierra Pelona, and Santa Susanna mountains, to its estuary
between Ventura and Oxnard, the river flows through forests, farmlands and cities,
changing from a wild and scenic river to an urban parkway. In the past few years,
it's been affected by dramatic fires, floods and oils spills. Communities have
grown and developed, and new parks and conservation areas have been created.
 Whether
you are a professional, a community leader, a landowner, an environmentalist,
an interested citizen, or all of the above, Watershed U. - Santa Clara will help
you learn what you need to know to live, work, and play in the watershed. It's
a six-week, once-a-week course that teaches the history, geography, and setting
of the river, and gives you an in-depth education about water supply and water
quality; ecology; agriculture, development, and mineral resources; flooding and
fire; and watershed and land use planning. Come learn from experts and colleagues,
and meet others involved in the watershed. Bring questions, leave with answers!
