The Rose Creek Watershed Alliance is an alliance of organizations and individuals formed to help plan the future of the 23,427-acre Rose Creek Watershed in San Diego County, California. Current watershed residents and visitors benefit from the efforts of many who have worked over past decades to preserve portions of the watershed and make them available for the public; city-owned Marian Bear Memorial Park and Rose Canyon Natural Open Space Park are two wonderful results of past preservation efforts. Unfortunately new threats exist and there is more to be done to protect the watershed for future generations; please join us!
Quick Updates
- First Five Tasks of Watershed Hydrology Study Completed
One of the recommendations of the Rose Creek Watershed Opportunities
Assessment, 2.6.1, was to develop more accurate hydrologic information about
the watershed. This information is essential for planning, designing and
implementing large scale watershed restoration and enhancement projects.
The first five tasks of a watershed hydrology study have been completed. The
remaining elements will be completed in 2008. See the reports at http://www.rosecreekwatershed.org/hydrologystudy.html.
- Help Design a new Gateway to Mission Bay where Rose Creek Meets the Ocean
The City of San Diego's Natural Resources and Culture Committee created a subcommittee of Districts Two (Faulconer) and Six (Frye) to begin the design of the Mission Bay Gateway and Rose Creek Wetlands. The project will help to implement both the Rose Creek Watershed Opportunities Assessment and the Mission Bay Plan. The first workshop and field trip for the Mission Bay Wetlands Gateways were held in October 2007. Additional activities will occur in 2008 and be announced here.
