2. To publicize the benefits of Big Walnut Creek as green space and a natural resource that is an ecosystem at risk because of its urban environment.

3. To exercise legal means of preservation and dedication of watershed areas through regulatory actions such as conservation easements and facilitating donations of land.

4. To advocate for the protection and preservation of natural ecosystems within Big Walnut Creek watershed, its banks, its floodplain, its tributaries, and their ephemeral streams.

5. To promote restoration activities for damaged or compromised areas of the Big Walnut Creek watershed.

6. To attain levels of aquatic life use graded as Exceptional Warm Water Habitat (EWH)and to maintain that level.

7. To insure that any habitat alterations occurring in the Watershed do not endanger the physical integrity of the ecosystem.

8. To organize, expand, and educate local community support for water quality enhancement.

9. To continue the pursuit of these goals into the foreseeable future.
