Putah Creek Committee

The Winters Putah Creek Committee (WPCC) was created in 2006 to oversee the restoration and public use of Putah Creek and the public lands adjacent to Dry Creek. The Committee’s work also included the development of the Putah Creek Master Plan and a Vegetation Master Plan for the creek area, which are complete, as well as the coordination of various creek clean-up projects. In July of 2021 it was proposed to City Council to reconstitute the WPCC to the Natural Resource Commission. The new commission would have an advisory role related to expanded environmental matters, including topics related to geology, hydrology, hydrogeology, soils, ecology, the atmosphere, and biology associated with aquatic life, vegetation, bird life, and animals.
