The traveling exhibit is a combination of maps text and imagery. Our goal is to spark an understanding about the magnitude of environmental threats facing the Santa Clara River Watershed and the importance of protecting the rivers watershed through both our daily actions and civic-minded involvement in our community.

The visual journey through the watershed begins in the past. Viewers are presented with an overview of the natural history of the watershed; the evolution of and impacts caused by settlements and industry; and the importance of the Santa Clara River, one of Southern California’s last free flowing rivers. The exhibit focuses on the river’s watershed explaining what a watershed is and why they require protection. Emphasis is placed on the role of this watershed in providing habitat for over 100 species listed as endangered, sensitive or threatened by government agencies.

Opening night receptions include presentations on stewardship and an opportunity to view native wildlife up close. Equipped with an understanding of the Santa Clara River Watershed, viewers are invited to see how they can help protect the river’s watershed and the species that live there. With community involvement, the river of the past will survive to be the river of the future.
