Mojave Watershed

Mojave Watershed Welcome to the Mojave River Watershed Group! What is MRWG? What is stormwater pollution? Why is stormwater education so important to High Desert residents?

MRWG is an organization dedicated to educating the High Desert community (the City of Hesperia, the City of Victorville, the Town of Apple Valley and other unincorporated areas of the County of San Bernardino) about stormwater pollution prevention. Stormwater pollution, resulting from urban runoff, is a serious issue and is the single biggest environmental threat to the quality of our rivers, lakes and other local waterways. It can have a detrimental effect on public health and harm the well-being of local wildlife. Stormwater pollution is unique in the High Desert due to its geographic make-up. Our watershed flows directly to the Mojave aqueduct which is the direct source of our drinking water. Protecting this precious resource for yourself and your family is vital to our High Desert community. The good news? Stormwater pollution is preventable. Through simple measures, we can reduce stormwater pollution and keep our communities clean. It is up to us to preserve the essence of the Mojave Desert. Learn more about us and how you can get involved at www.mojaveriver.org.

International Volunteer Day celebrates the people who give their time to protect and uplift their communities.

For us, that means the volunteers who help keep trash out of storm drains, clean up local neighborhoods and care for the Mojave River Watershed. Your efforts protect our water, our wildlife, and our future. 💙✨

To all who have supported this work – thank you! And if you haven’t volunteered yet, don’t worry. It’s never too late to make a difference.

Shining a bit brighter! 💎Last month, our team celebrated an incredible night at the Polaris Awards and we’re proud to share that MRWG won the Polaris Award for Community Relations! ✨

This recognition highlights the major strides we’ve made partnering and working with businesses across the High Desert, helping them better understand their impact on stormwater pollution and the role they play in protecting the Mojave River Watershed.

These efforts have strengthened community partnerships and built a strong foundation for future collaboration. A huge thank you to PRSA Inland Empire for celebrating the strategy and teamwork behind the work we do to protect the Mojave River Watershed. Here’s to more progress ahead! 💙🏆

This Thanksgiving, we’re thankful for you – the neighbors, families and friends who do their part to keep our Mojave River Watershed clean. 💧
Every time you pick up litter, scoop the p**p, or properly dispose of waste, you’re protecting the water we all share. 🌎
Here’s to a season full of gratitude, clean water, and community spirit. 🦃💙🧡

Este Día de Acción de Gracias, estamos agradecidos por ti: los vecinos, familias y amigos que hacen su parte para mantener limpia nuestra cuenca del río Mojave. 💧
Cada vez que recoges basura, levantas los desechos de tus mascotas o desechas los residuos correctamente, estás protegiendo el agua que todos compartimos. 🌎
Brindemos por una temporada llena de gratitud, agua limpia y espíritu comunitario. 🦃💙🧡

Because nothing ruins Thanksgiving faster than a clogged drain! 😉

Looking for a simple way to protect our watershed and reduce waste?

Start composting! 🌿💧When food scraps end up in the trash, they create harmful methane gas and take up space in landfills. Composting keeps that waste out of the bin and turns it into nutrient-rich soil – perfect for your garden! 🌻

Here’s how to start:
🥕 Collect fruit & veggie scraps
🍂 Add leaves or paper for balance
🌎 Keep it moist and turn it regularly

We’re falling for crisp walks and wagging tails 🍁🐶 - but let’s not “leaf” our responsibility behind! Rain can carry pet waste straight into storm drains, where it flows untreated into the Mojave River. 🚫 So grab that bag, scoop the p**p and be a hero for clean water. 💧
