Santa Rita & Bolsa Knolls Watershed Group

Founded in 2005, our mission is to help our communities equitably implement sustainable and regenerative practices to slow and adapt to climate change. Communities for Sustainable Monterey County (CSMC) is a 100% volunteer, non-profit organization comprised currently of eight Local Action Groups who focus their environmental projects in their respective communities of Monterey, Pacific Grove, Marina, Seaside, Salinas, Carmel, Del Rey Oaks, Big Sur and unincorporated Monterey County. Our Local Action Group leaders and volunteers work with partners from city sustainability staff, businesses and like-minded NGOs such as Regen Monterey, Waste Management, Surfrider, Everyone’s Harvest, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Habitat Stewardship Project Monterey Bay (formerly Return of Native Plants), and Blue Zones of Monterey.
