Alpine Watershed Group protects, conserves, and restores the watersheds of Alpine County by promoting sustainable community and science-based collaborative solutions.
Woollystar Thank You!
During the weekend of June 21 and 22, volunteers with Alpine Watershed Group and Alpine Trails Association hosted a bar to raise money for both organizations. We are sincerely thankful to the Woollystar organizers and the companies who generously donated their products to support our fundraiser: Moonlight Brewing Company, Zaddy’s, and Guayakí. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our tents to purchase products and converse about our organizations. We truly appreciate all of the tips and donations too!
