The Environmental Committee works to protect the watershed and to educate the public on forestry issues, erosion control, hazardous waste, recycling, and other issues. We also monitor government policies and procedures.
PG&E is a high priority for the Environmental Committee due to its massive and destructive felling of trees to prevent wildfires when unsafe, unreliable, antiquated equipment is the fundamental cause of the fires. From working on legislation and a new Franchise Agreement for PG&E in the County to in-depth research and analysis to support work with agencies affecting PG&E and helping folks protect their trees from PG&E’s contractors, this keeps the group busy. We work with a State-wide Utility Wildfire Prevention Taskforce on these issues.

We are delighted to announce that Assemblymember Gail Pellerin will be our honored guest, delivering an update on the pressing environmental matters impacting the San Lorenzo Valley and the wider region.
Assemblymember Pellerin’s presentation will be followed by an engaging Q&A session, offering attendees the unique opportunity to voice their concerns and submit questions directly to our distinguished guest.
But that’s not all! Joining us will be a diverse lineup of eighteen outstanding organizations and agencies, each providing invaluable insights and information. Before and after Assemblymember Pellerin’s address, you can explore informational displays and interact with representatives from Santa Cruz County Parks, Vector Control, the Regional Transportation Commission, and many more.
Our esteemed participants include environmental stalwarts like the Santa Cruz Climate Action Network, the SLV Native Habitat Restoration Program/Butterfly Project, and the Sierra Club Santa Cruz Group.
