Tujunga Watershed Management Plan
Visit www.TujungaWash.org to learn more!
With funding from the California Bay-Delta Watershed Program, The River Project has begun a major two-and-a-half-year project to develop a comprehensive Watershed Management Plan for the Tujunga Wash, a primary subwatershed of the upper Los Angeles River Watershed. The plan will identify multiple benefits ranging from enhancing the regional water supply and water quality, to restoration of Tujunga Wash to a more natural condition, to ecosystem enhancements and community recreation opportunities, including the creation of neighborhood pocket parks in several underserved communities in the area.
We will work with community members and local government to produce a detailed plan that will identify specific projects that will accomplish these goals throughout the area and improve the healthy functioning of the watershed.

The project includes Watershed-U – a six-week workshop to educate community members about specific issues, and development of a k-12 curriculum specific to the Tujunga Wash. The Plan will coordinate throughout with local, state and federal agencies, and will provide a blueprint for recovery of functionality throughout the Los Angeles River Watershed.
