Help us make Corte Madera Creek watershed a better place to live for all

There are several ways you can help us make Corte Madera Creek Watershed a better place to live for all. The two main ways are by donating or volunteering. 

You can also reach out with any news or events of interest, wildlife observations, or your concerns about the watershed.

See our calendar of events.

Donate

Your donations help support our habitat enhancement and restoration projects, education and outreach programs, conservation efforts, endangered species protection and more throughout the watershed. Because Friends of Corte Madera Creek Watershed is an all-volunteer organization, every cent of your donation benefits one of our projects or programs.  

The Friends of Corte Madera Creek Watershed is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Donations are fully tax-deductible as allowable under the law.

Volunteer

Volunteering is a wonderful way to contribute to the community, meet new people, and learn about our watershed. Our work is varied, so we should be able to match your interests, expertise or needs with one of our projects.  

Let us know how you would like to help! It would be helpful if you fill out the Volunteer Information Form and send it back.
