Environmental Committee
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.
Your help is needed.

The Friends of San Lorenzo Valley Water Asks Questions of SLVWD Board Candidates
Posted on: October 31, 2022 4:58 pm
Posted in Environment, Water
The Friends of San Lorenzo Valley Water (FSLVW) is a “group of local residents working to ensure clean and healthy water for all who live in the SLV.” If you visit their website, you will see that we all share the same concerns for our water, watershed, and the SLV Water District that the Friends have. And they have accomplished a lot of positive work since their inception.
With the upcoming Board of Directors election seeking THREE Directors with FOUR candidates running, it is challenging to know each candidate’s priorities or qualifications. Yard signs and paid ads can’t begin to tell the whole story, so the FSLVW decided to provide a set of five critical questions for each candidate to respond to — and to provide them to the voters through their website. If you aren’t quite sure which candidates you should vote for, please see what the questions are and each candidate’s response. It is remarkable how thoughtful and revealing the answers are.
Here’s the link! Take the time to make a careful decision about this — it’s YOUR water and YOUR watershed that the Directors will be making hard decisions about.
