Yosemite Slough and Islais Creek -
Healthy Watersheds?
Tuesday, November 16, 2004

Our November discussion, "Yosemite Slough and Islais Creek - Healthy Watersheds?" provided community members with an opportunity to share and learn about the importance of watersheds and what community groups are doing to protect or restore the watersheds in which Bayview/Hunters Point residents live. Several local community activists spoke about local organizations' activities around Islais Creek and Yosemite Slough, including:

• Alex Lantsberg and Jennifer Clary, Clean Water Action
• Olin Webb, Bayview Hunters Point Community Advocates
• Ruth Gravanis, Alliance for a Clean Waterfront

About Our Community Environmental Education Series

The Community Window on the Hunters Point Shipyard Cleanup hosts monthly discussions for the Bayview Community to keep you informed of important current environmental issues and how they affect your community. These events usually begin with a brief presentation on the month's topic followed by a friendly, informal group discussion. They are held on the fourth Tuesday of every month at 6:00PM at our office at 4634 Third Street (between Newcomb and McKinnon) in San Francisco's Bayview neighborhood. These discussions are free and open to everyone in the Bayview/Hunters Point community.
