The San Geronimo Valley Stewards work to represent prop- erty owners in restoring our creeks through collaborative vol- unteer efforts. The Stewards are working to talk to the entire SGV to develop a clear picture of the residents’ needs, desires, and abilities for creek restoration; build a diverse community coalition as a resource to support Valley residents’ responsible improvement of their properties; rally around individuals so no one feels bullied, or that they don’t have a voice in the future of their home; bring information and resources to the Valley because we trust our neighbors to make wise decisions if they have resources and good information.
