Our community faces significant challenges maintaining its natural resources, including our local natural water sources, like rivers, creeks and streams, beaches and the ocean, our beautiful forests and redwood trees, local wetlands, and wildlife habitat. We must protect these special places against the persistent threat of wildfires, environmental degradation, pollution and climate change.
That’s why a grassroots group of nonprofits and community leaders created Measure Q, the Santa Cruz County Water and Wildfire Protection Act!
About Measure Q
Measure Q is a ballot initiative sponsored by local environmental and community organizations to protect our natural and working lands by investing in projects that take care of Santa Cruz County’s lands and waters, building resilience to wildfires and other natural disasters. Measure Q focuses on protecting our water quality, ocean, beaches, wildfire risk reduction, forest preservation, wildlife habitat enhancement, and the improvement of community spaces.
Some of the projects that Measure Q will enable include:
