Welcome!

Picture
The Crystal Springs Partnership (formerly the Crystal Springs Community Collaborative) is a group of community members, organizations, and City representatives who are working toward making the Crystal Springs Watershed a vibrant, healthy place for people and wildlife. The group is partnering local knowledge and agency expertise to develop a national model for urban watersheds. In particular, working toward ensuring that Crystal Springs Creek will have healthy urban salmon through community collaboration around education, advocacy, and restoration. Explore these pages for more information, join us at an event, and take our  Survey to get involved and help us out.

  • New New Name! - After another series of discussions we have decided to shorten our organization's new name to 'Crystal Springs Partnership'.  It is less of a mouthful than our previous names and makes a better acronym too.  A new logo will follow shortly.
