Restoration & Conservation
Colgan Creek Restoration
Colgan Creek is waterway that starts on the flanks of Taylor Mountain and travels through southwest Santa Rosa before it joins the Laguna de Santa Rosa near Llano Road. Much of Colgan Creek flows through urbanized areas where flood control is a concern.
We will be embarking on this new restoration project in collaboration with the City of Santa Rosa’s Storm Water and Creeks stewardship team on Colgan Creek. This is Phase 2 of a 3-phase project designed to reduce flooding, while restoring the creek, improving public access, and promoting community stewardship along the creek.
