Sempervirens fund commits early support for California Water Bond initiative

Local land trust Sempervirens Fund, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting the redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains, has announced it will commit $100,000 in support of California Proposition 1, the Water Bond.

The water bond directs $200 million to the Wildlife Conservation Board for projects that result in enhanced stream flows. The State Coastal Conservancy is set to receive $100.5 million. And $30 million is designated to the Ocean Protection Council. Across the state, $1.5 billion will go to projects protecting and restoring watersheds, rivers and lakes. Proposition 1 will be on the November 4th ballot throughout California.
