Alpine Aspen Festival

The Alpine Aspen Festival is AWG's largest outreach event held  annually in early October in scenic Hope Valley, Alpine County, California.  AWG partners with Friends of Hope Valley to host the event to celebrate Alpine County’s beautiful fall colors, natural environment, and dynamic history.  Visitors may enjoy live music, guest speakers, and booths at the festival location on Blue Lakes Road, or sign up for one of the many activities and workshops with local experts.  Options include nature hikes, horseback riding, fly-fishing, yoga, Dutch oven cooking, photography, and watercolor. The festival welcomes families and is also dog-friendly. It is a fantastic opportunity to learn about the headwaters of our watersheds and make connections in the community.

Community education is critical in providing long term protection of our watersheds.  Understanding natural processes helps people protect water quality and scenic resources.  The Alpine Watershed Group regularly tables at community events and is available to conduct presentations to groups upon request.

Watershed Tours and 
Project Site Visits
The best way to understand the natural processes involved in our surrounding area is to explore our watershed.  The availability of water, the quality of water, the abundance of wildlife, and the splendor of our natural landscapes is all dependent on a community’s understanding of watersheds.  The Alpine Watershed Group hosts trips out in the field to experience Alpine County's watersheds first hand.  These trips include visits to monitoring sites, ecology tours, and visits to restoration areas.
