A watershed is an area of land that drains into a body of water.
The Laguna Creek Watershed encompasses almost 50 square miles of land draining to Laguna Creek and its tributary streams, starting in the Sunrise area of northeast Sacramento County and flowing southwesterly through Elk Grove to Morrison Creek and eventually to the Sacramento River. During winter storms, some of the water reaches the Stone Lake National Wildlife Refuge.
The Laguna Creek Watershed Council is a diverse group of watershed residents, community group leaders, and local government agency representatives founded in 2002 and established as a 501(c)3 in 2008.

Mission Statement
The Laguna Creek Watershed Council is a non-profit grassroots alliance that strives to protect and restore the beneficial uses of Laguna Creek, its tributary streams, and associated riparian corridors. These uses included habitat for aquatic animals and wildlife, recreational opportunities for the residents of the region, and flood risk reduction. We will accomplish these goals by educating residents, promoting active community participation, and fostering partnerships and projects that achieve long-term, balanced solutions with mutual benefits to all stakeholders.
Vision Statement
A community that appreciates the environmental, recreational, and flood management values of Laguna Creek and works to protect and enhance these values for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. Residents, businesses, organizations, landowners and government agencies collaborate to create solutions that balance the need for responsible resource protection and management with continued urban and economic development.
