Rodeo Creek Watershed Vision Plan
After two Rodeo Creek Corridor Community Meetings in the Summer of 2023, the community created an addendum to the 2008 Rodeo Creek Watershed Vision Plan. We have added the conclusions from our meetings to the last section of the living document found below. Thank you to the Rodeo Municipal Advisory Council and the Contra Costa County Watershed Program for their generous funding for this important project!
Coming soon! The Latin American- Spanish version of the Vision Plan! Please come back soon to download and view that copy.
With our Vision Plan as a guide, the Rodeo Creek Watershed Group works to accomplish some of the goals set by the community and its agencies. In order to accomplish this, the group must meet regularly, working together to evaluate the potential projects listed in the document and actively seek funding to carry them out.
Rodeo Watershed Jurisdiction Maps
In order to sort out the many agencies involved in the Rodeo Watershed, we have provided Jurisdiction Maps to the Watershed Area itself. These maps are a start at ensuring all of the agencies involved in the Rodeo Watershed are identified and incorporated to provide the best support for the watershed.

Interpretive Panels at Laurel Ct. Garden
In partnership with the Rodeo Citizens Association (RCA), the Contra Costa Resource Conservation District (CCRCD) designed and installed two interpretive panels in spring 2025 at the Laurel Ct Garden, located at 861 Laurel Ct, Rodeo, CA.
The panels showcase the benefits of Water-Wise Gardening and the Pollinator Garden, offering visitors easy access just a few feet from the sidewalk. What makes these panels especially unique is the inclusion of scannable QR codes—each linking to a dedicated page on the CCRCD website where viewers can explore the information in five different languages, making the content accessible to a wider audience.

In 1999, Heidi started a small bonsai and custom saltwater reef tank business named ‘Through the Looking Glass: A Living Art Studio’ in Crockett, CA, where she got an in-depth understanding of saltwater filtration and hydrology. Heidi has held numerous community leadership positions in the Crockett, Port Costa, and Rodeo area, including President of the local Chamber of Commerce and Board Member on the Crockett Community Services District.
