The Upper Merced River Watershed Council, located in Mariposa, CA, is dedicated to preserving and protecting the Merced River, a 145-mile tributary of the San Joaquin River in California. Known for its swift course through Yosemite National Park, the river's character changes as it flows into the San Joaquin Valley, becoming a slow-moving meandering stream.
With a focus on habitat conservation, historic streamflow patterns, and environmental mitigation efforts, the council works to address the impacts of human activities on the river ecosystem. From the river's headwaters in the Sierra Nevada to its mouth in the San Joaquin Valley, the Upper Merced River Watershed Council plays a vital role in stewarding this important waterway.
