The California Urban Streams Partnership is an organization of local, regional and statewide groups that protect, restore, and steward urban streams. We are an advocacy organization for urban wildlife, increasing the quality of city life and neighborhoods, and returning functioning ecosystems to urban environments.
Our network of partners from across the state, the California Watershed Coalition, works together to advocate for streams in urban and rural California.
CUSP’s staff and board hold expertise in a wide range of topics relating to urban creek restoration. We regularly host public workshops and lectures with hands-on and practical advice about how to organize, plan, permit and implement low-cost and high-impact restoration techniques.
Since 1982, members and staff of the California Urban Streams Partnership have pioneered the organizing, funding, design, construction and evaluation of urban stream restoration projects. We provide assistance and consultations with urban stream restoration projects, with an emphasis on community involvement in planning and implementation.
The California Urban Streams Parternship provides free advice about creek care, restoration and maintenance for Contra Costa County residents. Funding for this service is provided by the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District.
