Our vision is that we will inspire the our local community to work in harmony to enhance the natural beauty and ecological value of Upper Newport Bay and provide for continued public enjoyment of this priceless resource.

Financial, practical, technical and influential support is critical as we strive to do what is best for the Bay, the watershed, and the people for generations to come. Please help us to achieve our vision.

Volunteer Opportunities

If you are interested in a more hands-on partnership, you can volunteer in a variety of capacities. We need enthusiastic and reliable individuals to get involved in restoration, education, outreach and research. We also need those who are more drawn to advocacy, watershed planning, community relations, fundraising, and other such activities.
