Our quarterly magazine, WatershedWise,
has been in circulation for over a decade. The magazine is designed to further facilitate
better communication and understanding about the watershed approach to planning
and management. Published four times a year in print and web format, the magazine
informs over 2,500 readers about major issues and activities in the watershed and
profiles the important agencies and community groups doing the work. It enables
us to get our message to our stakeholders in a clear and timely fashion.
In recent years, articles in WatershedWise have been drawn from key stakeholders
who participate in the Council for Watershed Health’s Symposia series. The symposia
are held regularly throughout the year and provide a forum for discussion and greater
understanding of issues related to the intersection of land use planning and watershed
management. To visit the symposia site,

Recent issues of WatershedWise have featured articles and discussions by expert
contributors on the topics of electrical transmission corridors, best management
practices for the urban LA environment, post-fire recovery efforts in the wake of
the Griffith Park fire, and a follow-up issue on brush management and fuel modification
after the Fall 2007 wildfires.
