The Ed Pozzi Watershed Day Art Show will showcase the finest paintings and
sculpture, in honor of Ed Pozzi.
Ed Pozzi passed away last fall. He was instrumental in ranchers allowing Christo to install the hypnotically sinuous Running Fence for 22 miles over hills and through valleys, across roads, threading two counties, and then into the Pacific from one of Ed's ranches.
In The Valley Ford Market he'd corner Ranchers reluctant to let this guy run a fence across a perfectly good pasture with happy cows or cattle. The Running Fence went into the Pacific from one of Ed's unbelievably beautiful ranches. He also would always welcome artists to paint his stunning landscapes. The Ed Pozzi Art Show will offer works from Bill Morehouse, Wally Hedrick, Mary-Lu Downing, Bill Wheeler, Catherine Richardson, Jack Stuppin, Kurt Kemp, D.A. Bishop, Michelle Bellefeuille, Claude Smith, and many, many more of the unusual suspects.
We will have an original Ed Pozzi work of art never before shown in public.

************************
The underlying foundation for the community organizing is that watersheds are the fundamental parameter of "home", not any superficial political designation arbitrarily drawn on a map. It's the collecting, collective basin where the water runs, the common thread running through all biological and cultural activity within the reach from below the stream-bed to the top boughs of the forested ridges.
IT'S ALL UP TO YOU.
IF YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW YOUR CREEK
SAY SO
SPECIFICALLY.
SHOW WHERE IT FLOWS
YOU KNOW IN SONG
"WHERE THE RIVERS CHANGE DIRECTION
ACROSS THE GREAT DIVIDE".
RIVERS START SOMEWHERE,
AND CREEKS.
EACH TIME A BRIDGE CROSSES YOUR CREEK
HANG A SIGN. POST IT HIGH. HONOR THIS
STEADFAST DEDICATION TO GO WHERE IT MUST.
TO OFFER ITSELF TO THE OCEAN OR THE SWELLING RIVER.
ATASCADERO; DUTCH BILL; SALMON; COPELAND; MARK WEST; SANTA ROSA.
I, TOO, GO WHERE I MUST
WHAT BRIDGES MARK MY WAY?
WHERE AM I GOING?
WILL ANYONE KNOW ME AS I PASS BY?

APRIL 18, 2001 for Earth Day
The Salmon Creek Watershed Council is working in co-ordination with the other Watershed groups of Western Sonoma County to better fufill our goals. We have invited these groups to work on The Salmon Creek Watershed day, May 19th, 20001. We are sharing grant application and resource assesment skills. This is an exciting time. Our work has involved The Gold Ridge Resource Conservation District. The inclusive manner of understanding issues will make us a better organization, a better foundation to build upon.
Here's a map to help understand the area we're talking about.
For those not from the area, The Salmon Creek Watershed is in Sonoma County, about 60 miles North of San Francisco, travelling inland from a few miles north of Bodega Bay on the coast.
