The Sierra Environmental Water Caucus mission is to protect the health and clean water of the Sierra Nevadas rivers, lakes, streams, and ecosystems in California and Nevada.
The purpose of the Sierra Environmental Water Caucus is to provide a forum for
a) taking collective action to protect Sierra Waters in regional, statewide or national forums, and b) sharing information amongst different water protection efforts in the Sierra Nevada. This is a forum for conservation leaders to act regionally.
The Caucus began meeting in January of 2004. 77 conservation leaders have signed up for SEWC notices and the following individuals have attended meetings:
