At Partners for Environmental Justice (PEJ), we believe every community deserves access to clean, thriving natural spaces. By restoring urban wetlands like Walnut Creek, we address environmental inequities and foster connections between people and nature. Our mission is clear: to empower communities, protect ecosystems, and create lasting change.
We believe knowledge is power. Through community workshops, advocacy training, and environmental education programs, we equip residents with the tools to protect their neighborhoods and advocate for sustainable change.
From rain gardens and green roofs to watershed restoration, we enhance both the natural and built environment. These projects reduce flooding, improve water quality, and create healthier spaces for the community.
We ensure that community development benefits everyone by prioritizing affordability, sustainability, and environmental justice. By centering local voices, we help create thriving, resilient neighborhoods around the Walnut Creek Watershed.
"A wetland is an area of land saturated with water. Wetlands reduce flooding, decrease erosion and are home to an abundance of plants, fish, and wildlife."
