The place a plant or animal lives is called its habitat. A healthy habitat provides food, water, shelter and space. Laguna Creek’s ecosystem provides habitat for many living things including fish living in the water, and birds and animals that need both the water and the creekside trees and plants to survive. For some, stream habitat conditions like those along Laguna Creek are the only places they can survive.

While a property along a healthy creek has many benefits, a degraded creek causes problems for all its neighbors. The Creek Care Guide is designed to encourage and support the ongoing stewardship of creeks in the Laguna Creek Watershed.

About Us
The Laguna Creek Watershed Council is a local non-profit organization founded in 2002 and established as a 501(c)3 in 2008. Our mission is to protect and restore the many 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 work to 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. We welcome participation by all interested members of the community, including students.

What Is A Watershed
A watershed is the 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.
