About Us
               
The Upper Merced River Watershedstarts in the high country of Yosemite National Park and ends in western Mariposa County. But the water in the Merced River doesn't stop there. It flows into the San Joaquin River, the Delta, and finally, San Francisco Bay.
 
The Upper Merced River Watershed Councilis made up of stakeholders (people and organizations who care about the Upper Merced River Watershed). The Council does not own or manage any land or water. It brings partners together for planning, education that promotes stewardship, and collaborative assessment and restoration projects. The Council is a project of the Mariposa County Resource Conservation District. In 2008 the Council became a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
