Contra Costa Resource Conservation District. The Contra Costa Resource Conservation District, a non-regulatory agency, works with citizens and community groups to facilitate conservation and stewardship of the natural resources in Contra Costa County.

Friends of Five Creeks. Working to protect and restore natural areas that welcome both wildlife and people on the urbanized east side of San Francisco Bay. This all-volunteer group has pruned, weeded, planted trees, and removed trash from Codornices Creek, a treasured waterway that flows through Berkeley and Albany communities.
Friends of Pinole Creek. Assure the return of Pinole Creek to a natural environment that can sustain native riparian wildlife including anadromous fish, waterfowl and migratory bird species. This small group is helping re-connect Pinole Creek's steelhead population split by Interstate-80.
SPAWNERS. To protect the San Pablo Creek Watershed and inspire community appreciation and stewardship through advocacy, education, and habitat restoration.
