Alpine Watershed Group protects, conserves, and restores the watersheds of Alpine County by promoting sustainable community and science-based collaborative solutions.
Wes Mosley shared the news of his departure with you in our December newsletter. On behalf of all of AWG’s staff and board, we want to express our immense gratitude to Wes. In addition to helping to define and refine the duties of the new Forest Health Coordinator position, Wes assisted in countless ways, making lasting contributions to our small office and our watersheds. His knowledge of Alpine County was invaluable, and it boosted all of our program areas. Wes was a true pleasure to work with, and we are looking forward to continuing to see him as an AWG volunteer. Thank you, Wes!

By Kaitlyn Garber, Wildfire Restoration and Forest Resiliency Fellow
In November, the Alpine Watershed Group team got the chance to sit down with Valerie Gordon of Ace Hereford Ranch and talk with her about ranching and climate change in Alpine County. AWG previously worked with Valerie and her husband Devere Dressler to complete a Rivers and Ranches project, funded by a Proposition 84 Agricultural Water Quality Grant through a program by the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board.
