Our mission is to assure the return of Pinole Creek to a natural riparian environment that can sustain native riparian wildlife including anadromous fish, waterfowl and migratory bird species. This restoration will add to the quality of life for the residents of Pinole, Hercules, and Unincorporated Areas of Contra Costa County, and improve the health of San Pablo Bay.

Our aim is to increase awareness and to provide quality educational opportunities for the general public to study the value of this natural resource and to accumulate and afford financial support for these goals. We will promote and support the identification, assessment and monitoring and contribute to the restoration planning process of Pinole Creek and Pinole Creek watershed and wetlands.

Native Plant Demonstration Garden
Imagine strolling under redwood canopies while learning about native plants, sitting on recycled redwood benches while listening to the creek gurgling past, and spotting egrets feeding along a restored riparian area, all without leaving the City of Pinole. Volunteers with the Friends of Pinole Creek Watershed are working to make this a reality with the Pinole Creek Restoration and Demonstration project at the Pinole Library.
