Cotati Creek Critters mission is to:

Enhance natural habitat for native species;
Organize community workdays to plant native trees and shrubs and to remove invasive species;
Encourage an appreciation of Cotati's creeks and creekside (riparian) vegetation;
Raise awareness that Cotati's creeks are part of the larger Laguna de Santa Rosa and Russian River watersheds;
Enjoy this beautiful natural resource with our families, neighbors and the community.

Please join us for Community Planting days, held twice a month from October to April/May, to plant native trees and shrubs along Cotati’s reach of the Laguna.

Special workdays can also be organized for specific groups and we can also offer a presentation to any interested group or class.

CCC also runs a program of educational events featuring local experts: see the Inside/Outside Nature Education series of guided walks from April – September 2007. This series is complemented by a monthly column in the local newspaper, the Community Voice.

CCC’s Stewardship Coordinator is Wade Belew.
