The Santa Clara River Watershed Area Steering Committee meeting will be held Thursday, Sept. 19, 1 p.m.-3 p.m. in the Carl Boyer Room at Santa Clarita City Hall, 23920 Valencia Blvd., Valencia, CA, 91355.

Among the items on the agenda is a discussion on invasive species in the Santa Clara River Watershed.

To view the full agenda click here.

The Santa Clara River is one of the last remaining natural river systems in Southern California, and is mostly undisturbed by urban development.

This results in a wide variety of geographic ecosystems within the watershed, including creeks, rivers, farmland, mountains, forests and residential areas primarily near Santa Clarita. This watershed is the ancestral home of the Tataviam people.

Watershed Area Steering Committees are comprised of representatives from cities, agencie and community stakeholders.

The committees meet regularly to review proposed projects and develop investment plans for each watershed.
